Under nonequilibrium conditions, inorganic systems can produce a wealth of life-like shapes
and patterns which, compared to well-formed crystalline materials, remain widely …

Chemobrionics is a research field about the well-known self-organized inorganic structures.
Numerous research works have focused on controlling their growth pattern and …

Thin-walled tubes that classically form when metal salts react with sodium silicate solution
are known as chemical gardens. They share similarities with the porous, catalytic materials …

Organic chemical gardens of chitosan hydrogel develop upon injecting an acidic chitosan
solution into an alkaline solution. Besides complex and budding structures, tubular hydrogel …

Chemical gardens are self-organized precipitate structures such as thin-walled tubes and
membrane-bound cells reminiscent of biological shapes. These usually inorganic …

The oscillatory growth of chemical gardens is studied experimentally in the budding regime
using a co-flow of two reactant solutions within a microfluidic reactor. The confined …

Inorganic precipitation reactions can self-organize a multitude of complex macroscopic
patterns. The striking precipitate tubes in chemical gardens are a classic example which …

Methane‐rich water moves through conduits beneath the seafloor whose surfaces are
formed through precipitation reactions. To understand how such submarine fluid conduit and …
