The cover shows some siliceous sponge spicules, like the 30 μ m spheroidal asters from the demosponge Geodia cydonium, which are composed of an array of a vast number of small rod‐like pillars that fused (bio‐sintered) together to the porous sphere. More details can be found in the article by W.E.G. Müller et al. on page B4 .
