Chemical gardens represent a fascinating class of self-organised structures that emerge when metal salts interact with anions in solution, most commonly silicates, leading to the formation of ...

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Since the mid-1600s, chemists have been fascinated with brightly colored, coral-like structures that form by mixing metal salts in a small bottle. Until now, researchers have been ...

Scientists have been studying chemical gardens for hundreds of years, but many insights into how they form have only recently been unveiled. At the University of São Paulo, chemists have calculated ...
