Questing · Ice Crystal Growth · Hexagonal Lattice
Six-fold dendrites from a single seed — vapor diffuses, the growth front accumulates, and the Mullins-Sekerka instability does the rest.

Ice crystal growth modelled on a hexagonal lattice: the diffusion instability drives tips to grow faster than flat faces, creating the characteristic 6-armed dendrite. Drag β to tune supersaturation — low values give thick plates, high values give delicate branching arms.
