Humans use periodically ridged fingertips to precisely perceive the characteristics of objects
via ion‐based fast‐and slow‐adaptive mechanotransduction. However, designing artificial …

The temporal control of pH in microreactors such as emulsion droplets plays a vital role in
applications including biomineralisation and microparticle synthesis. Typically, pH changes …

Eukaryotes depend upon the proper localization, accumulation, and release of intracellular
Ca2+. This is regulated through specialized cellular compartments, signaling pathways, and …

The Liesegang pattern is a beautiful natural anisotropic patterning phenomenon observed in
rocks and sandstones. This study reveals that the Liesegang pattern can induce nonlinear …

This study investigates the impact of a cationic polymer, polyethylenimine, on calcium
phosphate mineralization within a gelatin hydrogel, aiming to enhance biomaterial design …

A mesocrystal is a superstructural crystal formed based on the assembly and oriented
attachment of primary crystals, which are explained based on a nucleation theory …

The formation of calcium phosphate under the control of water-soluble polymers is important
for understanding bone growth in living organisms. These experiments also have spin-offs in …

Crystallization in living organisms is highly regulated by both passive diffusion and active
transport across the cellular membrane or plasm. There have been studies that mimic slow …

The organic-inorganic interactions are nature's way of controlling the formation of
biominerals. Of the biominerals, calcium phosphate (CaP) phases have been implicated in …

Reaction-diffusion systems are ubiquitous in nature, therefore they are widely studied both
experimentally and theoretically. The driving force behind reaction-diffusion phenomena can …
