• Architecture and material properties of diatom shells provide effective mechanical protection (2003, background): “However, a recent examination of a fracture in a pennate diatom has shown that the crack leading to fracture did not travel through, but around the minute (about 40 nm across) silica spheres forming the frustul”
• Si and C interactions in the world ocean: Importance of ecological processes and implications for the role of diatoms in the biological pump (2006, methodology): “Spherical structures of bSiO2 that conglomerate on the nanometer scale, so called micro spheres, vary in size among diatom species and been observed by using atomic force microscopy [Crawford et al., 2001].”
