Many substances display crystallization, allowing them to keep adding to a basic shape to reach pretty humongous proportions.

Seed crystals are tiny single crystals made to dissolve in a solution (or melt) from which larger crystals are drawn either by precipitation, centrifuging or drawing up from a melt. Seed crystals are ...

Ostwald's 1897 paper on crystal nucleation 1 contains an interesting remark in the introduction. After explaining that supercooled liquids can be made to crystallize by the introduction of a small ...
