Looks like the on-line version of "Science" that Cotty referenced has
additional content that didn't arrive in time to be included in the
current print issue.
From a layman's point of view all the article says to me is the old
Sci-Fi shibboleth about "Silicon based life forms" isn't so far out of
the realm of possibility as the critics once claimed, i.e. that there
are other chemical processes that can be "life" beyond those we are
commonly familiar with.
For me, the only real surprise is that these guys managed to get funding
for their research in the current anti-Science climate that prevails
here in the U.S.

Not in my latest issue of Science, but hopefully soon.
