Think-tank, consisting of Russian, German and Australian scientists, who studied behaviour of dust particles in plasma, discovered an interesting phenomenon – dust particles tend to self-order, forming complex spatial helixes, able to interact with each other, PhysOrg reports.
      
      Moreover, said structures behave specifically, showing properties of living matter, for example, these structures can develop (which is evolution) and divide, forming identical (or nearly identical) copies.
      
      Environment, in which dust particles behave so unusual, is common for our Universe. This fact allows suggesting that in theory main living organisms can appear spontaneously in interplanetary or interstellar space. Inorganic structures of this kind can serve as so-called matrices for generation of complex biological molecules with similar topology.
