lduncan Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Scientist are looking to use diatoms to create complex 3d silicon nano-structures for sensors, high capacity batteries etc: http://www.gtresearchnews.gatech.edu/ne ... sensor.htm Image shows a sensor created from a microporous silicon structure converted from the shell (frustule) of a single diatom. Had to laugh at this: Since scientists already know how to culture diatoms in large volumes... I wonder if they take diatom donations?
