High-Mg Calcite Nanoparticles Within a Low-Mg Calcite Matrix via Spinodal Decomposition: A Widespread Phenomenon in Biomineralization
Nuphar Bianco-Stein, Iryna Polishchuk, Arad Lang +3
During the process of biomineralization, organisms utilize various biostrategies to enhance the mechanical durability of their skeletons. In this work, we establish that the presen…
A fungal mycelium templates the growth of aragonite needles
Achiya Livne, Sylwia Carolina Mijowska, Iryna Polishchuk +3
Fungi live within diverse environments and survive well under extreme conditions that are usually beyond the tolerance of most other organisms. In different environments fungi are…
Pore and Ligament Size Control, Thermal Stability and Mechanical Properties of Nanoporous Single Crystals of Gold
Maria Koifman Khristosov, Shiri Dishon, Imrit Noi +2
Nanoporous gold is widely used in research and nanotechnology because of its diverse properties, including high surface area and catalytic activity. The ligament size is usually co…
Density of Nanometrically Thin Amorphous Films Varies by Thickness
Yael Etinger-Geller, Alex Katsman, Boaz Pokroy
Organisms in nature can alter the short-range order of an amorphous precursor phase, thereby controlling the resulting crystalline structure. This phenomenon inspired an investigat…
Paraffin Wax Crystal Coarsening: Effects of Strains and Wax Crystal Shape
Sasha Pechook, Alex Katsman, Boaz Pokroy
We developed a model of paraffin wax crystal coarsening that well describes our experimental results and allows behavior of the paraffin films to be predicted on the basis of the e…
A gold complex single crystal comprised of nanoporosity and curved surfaces
Maria Koifman Khristosov, Leonid Bloch, Manfred Burghammer +4
Complex hierarchical shapes are widely known in biogenic single crystals, but growing of intricate synthetic metal single crystals is still a challenge. Here we report on a simple…
