Abstract
In this contribution I concentrate on the recent results from experime nt E864 at the BNL-AGS. E864's recent analyses have achieved sensitivi ties of approximately 3 x 10(-8) per 10% central interaction for the p roduction of charged strangelets and the first analysis for neutral st rangelets is near completion. I put the results in the context of coal escence and quark-gluon plasma strangelet production models.
