jsc2020e030481 (7/8/2020) --- This preflight image of the Dendrite Fragmentation and Morphology during Melting and Solidification (DFM) (SUBSA-DFM) investigation of shows a small portion of an experimentally determined dendrite. The image on the right shows the same portion with the formation of a fragment and other morphological changes after a simulated temperature change. Colors show the mean curvature of the dendrite interfaces (red corresponds to high positive curvature, blue to high negative curvature, and green to zero curvature). (Image Courtesy Techshot, Inc.)
