Living in a Glass House (Diatoms)

[Bryan Ness]

Read the latest feature at the Botany Site, "Living in a Glass House,"
an article about diatoms, a group of algae that produce an exoskeleton
made of silica whose artistic qualities make viewing them an aesthetic
experience.  The article contains some nice images and has links to
others.  Read it at either of the following URLs (the second is more
permanent):
