polymer blend crystal grown in dizzy dendrite pattern
"Dizzy dendrite" pattern grown in an 80-nanometer thick film of two blended polymers with randomly dispersed clay particles.

simulated metal alloy dizzy dendrite
Computer simulation of the crystal structure for a copper-nickel alloy with randomly dispersed particles.

spiraling dizzy dendrites simulation
Spiraling dendrites produced when the simulation assumes that the particles are randomly dispersed and rotating.
