London, Nov 4 : While organisms are known for their ability to reproduce, scientists have now successfully created an artificial material that can repeatedly copy itself.

The scientists claimed that a careful designing of these sequences, could enable them to build various structures from them, like microscopic relief maps of the Americas.

Using micrometre-scale particles, scientists showed that when in solution, these particles self-organise into units capable of reproducing.

"While nature teems with organisms that readily reproduce, no one has yet succeeded in making an artificial material that can repeatedly copy itself," New Scientist quoted Paul Chaikin and colleagues at New York University, US, as saying.

Envirowise, funded by the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs, suggests that firms use teapots instead of making individual cups of tea, and try to re-introduce tea urns to the workplace.

The agency is of the opinion that such a step could cut greenhouse gas emissions, and thereby help business houses save money.
