The blueprint of all life

Researchers from North-western University are reporting that they believe that DNA is the blueprint for all life. It can give form to many different types of organisms from the basic one cell bacteria right up to the complex structure known as humans.

This blueprint is the designer, project leader and indeed the actual builder of these very simple structures which can be built into very complex shapes and sizes, from just one tiny particle.

It has been found from the work that has been going on for almost ten years now, that almost anything can be built from the ground floor up, this includes many complex gems like diamonds, ruby’s, and sapphires, these structures are built up on a crystalline structure with atoms in exact locations, but with the atoms replaced by these nanoparticles this will change the entire structure into almost anything they want.
