While demonstrating ocean acidification in the modern is relatively straightforward (measure
increase in atmospheric CO2 and corresponding ocean chemistry change), identifying …

Characterizing and ultimately controlling the heterogeneity underlying biomolecular
functions, quantum behavior of complex matter, photonic materials, or catalysis requires …

Biological composites have evolved elaborate hierarchical structures to achieve outstanding
mechanical properties using weak but readily available building blocks. Combining the …

Ocean acidification (OA) is generally assumed to negatively impact calcification rates of
marine organisms. At a local scale however, biological activity of macrophytes may generate …

In the Earth's middle and lower crust and mantle, rocks deform by creep, and it has long
been recognized that lattice preferred orientations (LPO) of the mineral constituents in …

We confirm with high-resolution techniques the existence of mineral bridges between
superposed nacre tablets. In the towered nacre of both gastropods and the cephalopod …

Methods for imaging of nanocomposites based on X-ray, electron, tunneling or force
microscopy provide information about the shapes of nanoparticles; however, all of these …

The wide diversity of biogenic minerals that is found in nature, each with its own
morphology, mechanical properties and composition, is remarkable. In order to produce …

Bivalve shells can provide excellent archives of past environmental change but have not
been used to interpret ocean acidification events. We investigated carbon, oxygen and trace …
