Mechanics of seed-grown planar chemical gardens
… study. The structures he reported are known as "chemical gardens" -- self-assembled semi-permeable precipitates. They are considered laboratory analogues of hydrothermal vents that are thought to be where biological life on Earth self-assembled and originated. In this thesis, in Chapter 1, a …

Dynamics of confined chemical gardens and implications for submarine methane hydrates
… patterns may be observed when performing chemical garden experiments, which occur when metal salts come into contact with solutions such as sodium silicate. Hele-Shaw cells, quasi-two-dimensional micro reactors, can be used to reduce the complexity of the system: osmosis is removed when …

Self-assembled Precipitation Membranes and the Implications for Natural Sciences
… great research interest in fields ranging from chemical engineering to geophysics, and even biology where they are thought to have played a vital role in the origin of life. Usually, the transport of chemicals by combined buoyancy, osmotic and diffusive mechanisms, support the precipitation …
