Choosing the Crystallization Path Less Traveled
Abstract
Many organisms use a most unexpected strategy for forming large single crystals such as those that make up mineralized skeletal parts. Although nucleation and growth of a crystal occur from a solid disordered phase that has the characteristics of a melt phase, the process is accomplished at ambient temperatures and pressures. This strategy allows organisms to mold the crystals into unusual shapes and orient them at will.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
