Abstract
Abstract Innovations in the liquid-transmission electron microscopy (TEM) field are leading to exciting new possibilities to explore nanoscale dynamic events. Within biological fields, researchers studying biomineralization have leveraged liquid-TEM to probe biomimetic reactions unfolding in real time and to study hydrated samples. However, limited research has been conducted studying interfacial mineralization using this technique. Interfacial mineralization is critical for understanding inorganic-organic interactions, relevant to many biomineralization events, and for studying biomaterials and their interaction with hard tissues. A detailed method for exploring biomaterial interfacial mineralization using nanofabrication with a focused ion beam for in situ liquid-TEM preparation is shared herein. Calcium phosphate (CaP) and titanium (Ti) interfacial mineralization events were observed, where the nucleation and evolution of different CaP particles were noted to form assemblies onto and adjacent to Ti lamellae in situ. With this complementary new method to explore interfacial mineralization mechanisms, this work trailblazes new avenues to study biomineralization.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
