Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of apatite (red) growing out of a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate, forming cracks (green) as it erupts on the surface. Apatite is the main mineral content of human bones and teeth. There's a lot of interest in understanding how apatite formation occurs so that it can be replicated to treat decayed tooth enamel. | |
