The discovery opens the door to the possibility that there may be life forms in the universe not based on carbon, reports New Scientist . Even more remarkable, Cronin has hinted that the metal-based cells may be replicating themselves and evolving. "I am 100 percent positive that we can get evolution to work outside organic biology," he said.

6 Die: Artwork: Single Sheet Of Paper
From the Artist, Peter Calessen My paper works have been based around an exploration of the relationship between two and three dimensionality. I find this materialization of a flat piece of paper into a 3D form almost a magic process – or maybe one could call it obvious magic, because the process is obvious and the figures still stick to their origin, without the possibility of escaping.
