Beautiful sculptures of deadly, tiny creatures

Perhaps the most interesting piece of nanotechnology is the biological virus. I recently learned that the known viruses present on Earth outnumber all other species put together. This is their planet and we just happen to live here. The website of Studio 360 has some examples of lovely glass sculptures of some famous viruses. The transparent nature of glass and the strange virus structure combine to give a stunning effect.
