Are there any promising paths towards preventing this? Seeding clean rooms with other chiral molecules that can encourage the lost higher energy form of a crystal, maybe?

It also makes you wonder if novel crystal forms could be discovered by purposely seeding the process with other arbitrary seeds.

I wonder if you could also detect it using some other harmless but otherwise volatile material?
