The article is worth reading, for anyone who was going to skip it. It's especially interesting to read about the aerogel method and techniques used to discount many of the particles captured.

"seven dust particles caught by the Stardust spacecraft likely came from the [interstellar medium]"

Must be a fascinating project to work on given the attention to detail required and the rarity of subject material.
