I had a very mathy explanation of Spinodal Decomposition in my graduate work. I wonder if there's a more intuitive explanation than just "that's how the energy landscape works".

But it’s easier/more intuit to see how dendrites form. Dendrite formation is also a huge problem in many fields, like electronics manufacturing (eg tin whiskers).
