Could living things that evolved from metals be clunking about somewhere in the universe? Perhaps. In a lab in Glasgow, UK, one man is intent on proving that metal-based life is possible.
He has managed to build cell-like bubbles from giant metal-containing molecules and has given them some life-like properties. He now hopes to induce them to evolve into fully inorganic self-replicating entities.
Ok, really? Does no one else on the planet read science fiction? Grey goo scenario anyone?
Colonel Jack O'Neil wouldn't be pleased.
