Chemical gardens are mineral aggregates that grow in three dimensions with plant-like forms and share properties with self-assembled structures like nanoscale tubes, brinicles, or …
Self-organizing precipitation processes, such as chemical gardens forming biomimetic micro- and nanotubular forms, have the potential to show us new fundamental science to explore …
The isotopic analyses (δ 13 C, δ 18 O, and Δ 47) of carbonate phases recovered from a core in McMurdo Sound by ANtarctic geologic DRILLing (ANDRILL-2A) indicate that the majority …
Ocean worlds have been identified as high‐priority astrobiology targets due to the link between life and liquid water. Young surface terrain on many icy bodies indicates that they …
The growth of chemical gardens is studied experimentally in a horizontal confined geometry when a solution of metallic salt is injected into an alkaline solution at a fixed flow rate …

The hollow precipitate tubes in chemical gardens conserve the nonequilibrium conditions present during their formation and are an important example of molecular processes …
A diverse range of complex patterns and mineralised hierarchical microstructures can be derived from chemobrionic systems, with formation driven by complex reaction–diffusion …
Brinicles are self-assembling tubular ice membrane structures, centimeters to meters in length, found beneath sea ice in the polar regions of Earth. We discuss how the properties of …
