View source for Skeleton of Euplectella sp.: Structural Hierarchy from the Nanoscale to the Macroscale

''NOTE: THIS IS A SPACEHOLDER, NOT A COMPLETE ENTRY''

==Short Overview==
The authors report the robust hierarchical structure of the Euplectella sp sponge skeleton, and they propose a scheme summarizing seven levels of structural hierarchy in the system, from the nano to the macroscale.  Comparisons are also drawn to mechanical engineering strategies for strong design that overcomes the limitations of the constituent materials.

::Figure 1. Two-step soft-lithography process for creating replicas of nanostructured surfaces with high-aspect-ratio features. A) SEM image of an exemplary original nanostructured surface-a silicon master bearing a square array of posts 8mmlong with the diameter 250nmand pitch 2mm. The oblique view is used to best visualize the structure. The insert is an EDS spectrum. B) Liquid PDMS precursor is poured onto the master, treated with an antisticking agent, and cured. C) The curedPDMSis peeled off from the master.D) The negativePDMSmold, which contains an array of high-aspect-ratio wells corresponding to the posts of the positive master, is surface-treated with an antisticking agent. E)SEMimage of thePDMSmold, revealing the high-aspect-ratio wells. F) Liquid precursor (polymer, liquid metal) is poured onto the negativePDMSmold and cured. G) ThePDMS mold is peeled from the cured positive replica. H) SEM image of an exemplary nanostructured replica fabricated from epoxy resin. The insert is an EDS spectrum. The replicated structure is geometrically indistinguishable from the master shown in A).
