Growth of Self‐Assembling Tubular Structures of Magnesium Oxy/Hydroxide and Silicate Related With Seafloor Hydrothermal Systems Driven by Serpentinization

Abstract Tubular structures self‐assemble from precipitating magnesium salts under the chemical garden chemobrionic growth process. Two experimental procedures, the dissolution of magnesium salt pellets and the injection of magnesium salt solutions into silicate solutions, were explored to reproduce...
