just today, "news" is all over the web about the Euplectella sponge which has spicules that are similar to, but better than, our man-made optical fibers. i'm not sure what's so "news" about this, as it has been known and known again. in any case, i'm looking forward to how these spicules will shed light on how to make better fibers.
