A new pipedream based on clay but the author of the article doesn't seem to recognize that a theory about clay is over 20 years old.:- http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/11/131105132027.htm-Note, they went to life's molecules to prove point.-"To further test the idea, the Luo group has demonstrated protein synthesis in a clay hydrogel. The researchers previously used synthetic hydrogels as a "cell-free" medium for protein production. Fill the spongy material with DNA, amino acids, the right enzymes and a few bits of cellular machinery and you can make the proteins for which the DNA encodes, just as you might in a vat of cells."-Sure because you are using DNA which you can't manufacture.
