title: Biomimetic assembly of calcite microtrumpets: crystal tectonics in action.
abstract: Crystallisation of calcium carbonate in the presence of the polycarboxylate 1,3-diamino-2-hydroxypropane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetate results in the formation of "microtrumpets" composed of nanocrystalline calcite.
