Polymorphism (materials science)
In materials science, polymorphism is the ability of a solid material to exist in more than one form or crystal structure. Polymorphism can be found in any crystalline material including polymers, minerals, and metals. It is related to allotropy, which refers to chemical elements. The complete morphology of a material is described by polymorphism and other variables such as crystal habit, amorphous fraction or crystallographic defects. Polymorphism is important in fields such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, pigments, dyes, foods, and explosives.
Polimorphism that exists because of a difference in crystal packing is called packing polymorphism. Polymorphism can also result from the existence of different conformers of the same molecule in conformational polymorphism. In pseudopolymorphism the different crystal types are the result of hydration or solvation. This is more correctly referred to as solvomorphism as different solvates have different chemical formulas. An example of an organic polymorph is glycine, which is able to form monoclinic and hexagonal crystals. Silica is known to form many polymorphs, the most important of which are; α-quartz, β-quartz, tridymite, cristobalite, moganite, coesite, and stishovite. A classical example is the pair of minerals, calcite and aragonite, both forms of calcium carbonate.
An analogous phenomenon for amorphous materials is polyamorphism, when a substance can take on several different amorphous modifications.

Lalla Fatma Nsoumer
Lala Fatima grew up in the arms of a family that belonged to her Rahmani social and religious behavior. Her father is Sidi Mohamed bin Issa, presenter of the Sheikh Sidi Ahmed Amezian Sheikh of the Rahmani method. He enjoyed the prestige among his family, as he often refers to the public and private to seek advice and receive the method, but her mother is Khadija Lala.
Lala Fatima was born in the village of Warja in the year 1246 AH / 1830 CE and raised a religious upbringing, with four brothers, the eldest of whom was Al-Taher. And historical sources mention the characteristics of women that distinguished them from the daughters of their generation, from the charm of beauty and literature. When she reached the age of sixteen years old, her husband's father, named Yahya Nath Ikhoulaf, but when she married to him pretending to be sick, he returned her to her father's house and refused to divorce her, so she remained in his infancy throughout her life. I opted for a life of asceticism, interruption, and devotion to worship, as she had an understanding in the religious sciences, and she took over the affairs of the Rahmani Corner at Borgah. After the death of her father, Lala Fatimah Nsoumer found herself alone, isolated from the people, and she left her hometown and headed to the village of Sumer, where her older brother Si Taher lives, and to this village she was attributed. The family of Fatima Nsoumer was affected by her brother, who was afflicted with various religious and worldly sciences, which enabled him to become a forerunner of the Rahmanian angle in the region and to take from him various religious sciences, which became popular throughout the tribes. The French colonialists resisted violent resistance, in which it displayed a unique courage and heroism. She died in September 1863 at the age of 33 years.
