Direct Nanoscale Imaging Reveals the Growth of Calcite Crystals via Amorphous Nanoparticles

© 2016 American Chemical Society. The formation of calcite (CaCO3), the most abundant carbonate mineral on Earth and a common biomineral, has been the focus of numerous studies. While recent research underlines the importance of nonclassical crystallization pathways involving amorphous precursors, d...
