Biomimetic fabrication of pseudohexagonal aragonite tablets through a temperature-varying approach

Pseudohexagonal and single-crystal-like aragonite tablets, found in nacre, could be uniformly fabricated through a temperature-varying approach for the first time, indicating the triplet twinning nature and implying a potential significance in biomineralization.
