Scientists Developed Artificial Structures That Can Self-Replicate 127
First time accepted submitter mphall21 writes "New York University scientists have developed artificial structures that can self-replicate, a process that has the potential to yield new types of materials. In the natural world, self-replication is ubiquitous in all living entities, but artificial self-replication has been elusive. The new discovery is the first steps toward a general process for self-replication of a wide variety of arbitrarily designed seeds."

...they've created an artificial structure that can self-replicate. The bad news is that it's Ice-9.

I for one would like to welcome our self-replicating overlords.
Especially if they look like Kristanna Loken [wikipedia.org]
