Solution-driven processing of calcium sulfate: The mechanism of the reversible transformation of gypsum to bassanite in brines
Here, we show that calcium sulfate dihydrate (gypsum) can be directly, rapidly and reversibly converted to calcium sulfate hemihydrate …

Helical microstructures in molluscan biomineralization are a biological example of close packed helices that may form from a colloidal liquid crystal precursor in a twist--bend nematic phase
We demonstrate that nature has produced a close-packed helical twisted filamentous material in the biomineralization of the mollusk. In …
