Perhaps the future of artificial intelligence will be both silicon- and carbon-based: digital brains directing complex molecular structures to copulate at the nanometre level and reproduce.

I'm not sure about "this just out." This news is quite old.

They are neither what he was lookonh at in 1979 was the discovery of the F ring. This is basically a ring of ice crystals. Well casini showed us that the F ring is constantly changing and even ejects what we would call a giant snow ball or huge chunks of ice if you will. It's caused by promethus a moon of saturn. It creates and even destroys these huge clumps of ice through its gravitational pull on the f ring. If it survives a pass from the moon it gets bigger if it doesnt it will be broken apart ejecting it from the f ring.
It's not aliens and it's certainly has nothing to do with spacecraft. In 1979 when the Dr here first found them no one knew what they were. So he jumped to the conclusion of aliens. Not realizing he is just seeing huge ice balls several kilometers in length being thrown out of the f ring do to gravitarional forces.
"You can (also) find them around Uranus and Jupiter. Wherever you see some rings, that is where I see the crafts, I call them a ringmaker."
Dr. Bergrun said these aliens are using the ring to power their living spacecraft and to support further proliferation of the vehicles. "That's where new ones are getting their energy," he said.
