Sijbren Otto at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands and his colleagues have found that mixtures of simple carbon-based chemicals can spontaneously form elaborate molecules, which can then copy themselves. Such self-replication is a hallmark of life, because it allows organisms to reproduce.
