We sought to identify and quantitatively analyze calcium oxalate (CaOx) kidney stones on
the order of micrometers, with a focus on the quantitative identification of calcium oxalate …

Calcium oxalate (CaOx) is the major phase in kidney stones and the primary calcium
storage medium in plants. CaOx can form crystals with different lattice types, water contents …

In this study, we investigated calcium oxalate (CaOx) kidney stones and showed direct
evidence of the solution-mediated phase transition of calcium oxalate dihydrate (COD; the …

Résumé Understanding the physico-chemistry related to cristalline pathologies constitutes a

The weathering of building and sculptural stone due to increasing air pollution and salt
damage results in the loss of invaluable cultural heritage artworks. This has prompted the …

Oxalate ligands are found in many classes of materials, including energy storage materials
and biominerals. Determining their local environments at the atomic scale is thus paramount …

Calcium oxalate minerals of the general formula CaC2O4. x H2O are widely present in
nature and usually associated with pathological calcifications, constituting up to 70–80% of …

Four possible models for anhydrous calcium oxalate (COA) polymorphs have been
investigated through ab initio quantum mechanical methods. Their structural properties …

Recent advances in our understanding of CaCO3 nucleation from solution have provoked
new and challenging questions. We have studied CaCO3 formation using precipitation by …
