Polycrystalline patterns are complex and often difficult to distinguish by eye alone. Erica Gunn, Bart Kahr and colleagues use extinction mapping techniques to study the development of polycrystalline patterns from solution, carefully controlling the crystallization driving force. Read more about their study and check out the beautiful and mesmerising patterns in their CrystEngComm Hot Article!
