  Nano structures, namely, nano rings and nanoparticles, comprising two
dimensional, crystalline gold atomic discs were produced on a sapphire
substrate. Nano rings revealed several remarkable properties, namely, an
apparent spatial orientation memory register, an apparent programmed homing
instinct and action based on that instinct, usually observed only in living,
biological systems. Momentary application of 100 nN force on a nanostructure,
mother led every mother within the entire scanner area to increase its volume
and create several daughter replicas. Over time, without the influence of any
applied external force or stimulus, each daughter, of its own volition,
transported itself back to its mother and recreated its original form. The
results strongly implied temporal and spatial synchronization between the
daughters and their respective mothers. The targeted movement of the daughters
towards their mothers implied the existence of a special, yet unidentified new
force. Momentary application of a weak force on a gold nanoparticle resulted in
the spontaneous transformation of each nanoparticle into a complex and robot
like Dalek 3dimensional form. Without the application of any additional
external force or stimulus, we observed a remarkable display of oscillatory
transformation between the robot-like forms and their mother nanoparticles
lasting over 26 hours. The robot-like structures seem to replicate identical
copies of themselves.
