Two weeks after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, marine scientist Monty Graham and colleagues at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab saw a 6-mile-long line of small pieces of mysterious white material floating in the Gulf of Mexico. The material was hard but porous and uniformly embedded with black spheres less than a half-inch in diameter. (Tom Kleindinst, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
