Nonclassical crystallization in vivo et in vitro (II): Nanogranular features in biomimetic minerals disclose a general colloid-mediated crystal growth mechanism
Recent research has shown that biominerals and their biomimetics (i) typically form via an
amorphous precursor phase, and (ii) commonly display a nanogranular texture. Apparently …
