Abstract: A micro-boat self-propelled by a camphor engine, carrying seed crystals of FeCl3, promoted the evolution of chemical gardens when placed on the surface of aqueous solutions of potassium hexacyanoferrate. Inverse chemical gardens (growing from the… read more here.

Abstract: Organic chemical gardens of chitosan hydrogel develop upon injecting an acidic chitosan solution into an alkaline solution. Besides complex and budding structures, tubular hydrogel formations develop that exhibit periodic surface patterns. The underlying wrinkling instability… read more here.

Abstract: We report the shape-preserving conversion of self-assembled CaCO3 microtubes to PbCO3 and MAPbBr3 perovskite. The first step induces the growth of cerussite needles on the outer surface. When further converted, these hedgehog-like structures become fluorescent.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1063/5.0085834
Abstract: When confined to a Hele-Shaw cell, chemical gardens can grow as filaments, narrow structures with an erratic and tortuous trajectory. In this work, the methodology applied to studies with horizontal Hele-Shaw cells is adapted to… read more here.
