The folks at Los Alamos are working on creating life from scratch in a project called the Los Alamos Bug. This project is very interesting because people have been trying to do it for so long. Though I when you read the paper it sounds like all the things we've been hearing about nano tech. Which makes complete sense... though I don't know that the requirement for Darwinian evolution is nessicary in a pure nano tech project. This is very exciting stuff.

Systems that can generate DNA on demand, self replicating, and self organizing.... a wonderful time to be alive.
