It's Alive!!!
Not quite — yet, anyway. In an advance toward giving artificial cells the ability to move, one of the hallmarks of life, chemists in Japan and Italy endowed the oil droplet shown in this video with the ability to undergo sustained, forward movement. The Journal of the American Chemical Society reported the achievement, and the American Chemical Society Office of Communications has more information.

@dunklesubel como madres no! claro que si se justan metabolicamente y en su forma, solo suprime algunas funciones vitales pero la de reproducción no!

OK...movement DOES have something to do with whether or not something is alive, but it's only one-seventh of the story. To be alive something must posess ALL of the seven life processes - Movement, Reproduction, Sensitivity, Growth, Respiration, Excretion and Nutrition. This is an interesting experiment, but it no more creates life than rolling a ball. You made it move, but the ball is not alive.

the music...I think it's either "fiddlesticks", a music group, or a track off of the soundtrack for the movie "the work and the glory".

Is this an official channel of American Chemical Society

Scientist had also created a cell that you can inject small amounts of drugs into and the cells are then injected into your bloodstream and can then be pop using sound waves. For Example: You have Cancer cells growing on a certain part of your body, you can focus the sound waves ( I think it was soundwaves) to deliver the drug to that spot and that spot only

They'll eventually create basic life and evolve them to suit our microscopic needs.
