"An international research team involving scientists has described the process of growing three-dimensional manganese dendrites. The researchers found that it occurs through accretion of manganese oxide nanoparticles. Understanding the dynamics of the growth of three-dimensional mineral dendrites is important for various fields of science - physics, geology, material sciences and even the study of extraterrestrial environments".
