Biopolymers represent a great resource for the development and utilization of new functional
materials due to their particular advantages such as biocompatibility, biodegradability and …

We show that a chemical garden can be developed from an alkaline metal precipitate using
a flow-driven setup. By injecting sodium phosphate solution into lithium chloride solution …

Systems far-from-equilibrium self-assemble into spatiotemporal structures. Here, we report
on the formation of calcium alginate gardens along with their inorganic hybrids when a …

Synthetic autonomous locomotion shows great promise in many research fields, including
biomedicine and environmental science, because it can allow targeted drug/cargo delivery …

Chemical gardens are an example of a chemobrionic system that typically result in abiotic
macro-, micro-and nano-material architectures, with formation driven by complex out-of …

Originating from the concept of classical chemical gardens, a new field coined
'chemobrionics' has recently emerged. In the present work, two chemobrionic systems grown …

Calcium phosphate (CaP) is a widely used biocompatible and bioactive material for bone
tissue engineering due to its similarity to the mineral component of natural bone. Amorphous …

The growth of viscoelastic curved materials, inspired by biological systems, may give rise to
various complex structures. One of the simplest ways to control the pattern formation is to …
