Implication

Exploration of hydrothermal vents indicates unique growth patterns in seed-grown chemical gardens.

Abstract

Chemical gardens are self-assembled structures of semi-permeable precipitates. They are considered laboratory analogues of hydrothermal vents and can potentially be used for functional chemobrionic materials. In this work, the behaviour...
