title = "Calcite crystal growth by a solid-state transformation of stabilized amorphous calcium carbonate nanospheres in a hydrogel",
abstract = "An ugly duckling grows into a swan: Many organisms grow their crystalline mineral phases through the secondary nucleation of nanospheres made of an amorphous precursor phase. Stable amorphous calcium carbonate biominerals were used to induce a similar transformation in vitro. The amorphous nanospheres underwent a solid‐phase transformation that resulted in highly ordered calcite crystals composed of aggregated particles.",

note = "German Research FoundationWe thank Dr. Eugenia Klein for her help with the ESEM experiments, and Dr. Stefan Siegel and Dr. Chenghao Li for their help with the diffraction experiments. X-ray diffraction studies were conducted at the mu-Spot beamline of the BESSY II Synchrotron Radiation Facility, which is part of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin fur Materialien und Energie. The research was supported by a German Research Foundation grant within the framework of the Deutsch-Israelische Projektkooperation DIP. L.A. is the incumbent of the Dorothy and Patrick Gorman Professorial Chair of Biological Ultrastructure, and S.W. of the Dr. Trude Burchardt Professorial Chair of Structural Biology.",
