Clear as crystal? There are still many questions to be answered before we can truly understand the mysteries of crystallization. However, there has been some remarkable progress towards finding some of these answers; for example, the use of ordered, functionalized templates to prepare oriented single crystals (see the polarized‐light image of a single micropatterned calcite crystal)
