Based on the book The Secret House by David Bodanis, this educational video explores the teeming yet unseen world thriving in neat and clean homes, countertops, bed linens, and walls. An amazing array of microfauna goes about the daily business of eating and reproducing. Thanks to the miracles of macrophotography and scanning tunneling microscopy, slime mold production is shown up-close and personal, as well as the sight of crystals forming on a flat surface.
