Tiny Grandiose Beautiful

These are gorgeous and weird. My favourite is the one you see when you first click on “Gallery” — this wonderful dragon claw-tapioca pearl-crepe paper thing. I don’t even know what it is. Do you?

    My totally non-scientific guess is that it is the emerging root of some plant. That, or Clay Aiken’s hair follicle.
    In a search for protein crystallization kits, I stumbled across this gallery of protein crystals. Using X-ray diffraction of these crystals, some crazy biochemists can figure out what the protein structure looks like. (Don’t ask me how.)
