The researchers created an artificial cell membrane made of "phospholipid bilayers" -- rows of long molecules that, like empty soda bottles bobbing on water, self-organize into an orderly heads-up/tails-down formation.

. . .

The process was performed repeatedly on the same membranes with the same result -- reversible reorganization.

Astounding numbers of people will tell you this can't happen without The Designer. Oh, wait! The experiment had a designer. Yes, but the designer of this experiment doesn't tell the molecules where to go.

Welcome to science, almost.

Although producing such chemical recognition events on an artificial membrane is not an achievement in itself, examining them with such fidelity is, says Sasaki.

Tide™ or Cheer™, water and Mazola™ corn oil display some of the same "self-organizeing" ability.
