Living organisms in nature have undergone continuous evolution over billions of years,
resulting in the formation of high-performance fracture-resistant biomineralized tissues such …

Spatiotemporal control over crystal nucleation and growth is of fundamental interest for
understanding how organisms assemble high-performance biominerals, and holds …

The mature skeletons of hard corals, termed stony or scleractinian corals, are made of
aragonite (CaCO3). During their formation, particles attaching to the skeleton's growing …

Although calcium carbonate is more commonly used in powder form, it could have exciting
applications in bulk form, such as bone scaffolds, synthetic corals, and artificial rocks …

The popular involvement of amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) in organisms, usually via a
complicated non-classical crystallization pathway, has aroused interest in the scientific …

The interactions of organic hereditary materials (ie, DNA and RNA) with inorganic minerals
are of key importance in many fields of research, from archeology and paleontology to …

A novel process that includes selective reduction roasting followed by hydrolysis was
proposed in this work to recover zinc, and efficiently extract calcium and sulfur from …

Carbonate rock samples are used in research related to enhanced oil recovery, acid
stimulation, calibration of well-logging tools, and validation of numerical petrophysical …

It is the intention of this study to elucidate the nested formation of calcium carbonate
