Wanted Dead or Alive Extraterrestrial Life Forms (Thermodynamic criterion for life is a growing open system that performs self-assembly processes) [PDF]
For more than 100 years, humanity (both specialists and enthusiastic laics) has been searching for extraterrestrial life hoping we are not alone. The first step in the quest for extraterrestrial life is to define what and where exactly to look for. Thus, the basic definition of living matter is a conditio sine qua non for the quest.

Translationally cold trapped CCl+ reactions with acetylene (C2H2) [PDF]
Ion-neutral chemical reactions are important in several areas of chemistry, including in some regions of the interstellar medium, planetary atmospheres, and comets. Reactions of CCl+ with C2H2 are measured and the main products include c-C3H2+ and l-C3H+, both relevant in extraterrestrial environments.
