Advanced Science, EarlyView.Early coral skeletons grow through formation of two co‐joined zones, rapid accretion deposits and thickening deposits. Advanced imaging and simulations reveal that ocean acidification reshapes these zones, shifting the coral portfolio of mineral phases which alters skeletal resistance to mechanical stress.

Genetic variation in eggshell crystal size and orientation is large and these traits are correlated with shell thickness and are associated with eggshell matrix protein markers [PDF]
, 2012 The size and orientation of calcium carbonate crystals influence the structure and strength of the eggshells of chickens. In this study, estimates of heritability were found to be high (0.6) for crystal size and moderate (0.3) for crystal orientation ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This review examines how coating Li‐ion battery separators with 1D, 2D, and 3D structured natural clay minerals influences their electrochemical and mechanical performance. It classifies 15 types of clay minerals and highlights structure–property correlations to offer practical design strategies for high‐performance separators in next‐generation energy

Frictional behavior of talc-calcite mixtures [PDF]
, 2015 Faults involving phyllosilicates appear weak when compared to the laboratory-derived strength of most crustal rocks. Among phyllosilicates, talc, with very low friction, is one of the weakest minerals involved in various tectonic settings.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.By drawing inspiration from biological neural hierarchies and the working mechanisms of plasticity, researchers have constructed a series of bionic devices, including sensory devices, synapse devices, and artificial neural systems. They committed to simulating and surpassing the biological information processing function, thereby realizing the ...

The Role of the Microbial Community in Mineral Formation in the Thermal Springs of the Baikal Region [PDF]
Журнал Сибирского федерального университета: Серия Биология, 2018 Alkaline nitrogen thermal springs characterised by high temperatures and pH values are extreme habitats in the Baikal area. Microbial mats are prokaryotic communities consisting of photosynthetic cyanobacteria and a range of other aerobic and anaerobic ...

Coprecipitation of phosphate with calcite.
GEOCHEMICAL JOURNAL, 1981 The mechanism of phosphate coprecipitation with calcite is proposed on the basis of homogeneous distribution of phosphate in the crystal at 20°C and pH 7.9-9.5. At a constant pH, phosphate content of calcite is proportional to total phosphate concentration in aqueous solution.

Mineral carbonation of ceramic brick at low pressure and room temperature. A simulation study for a superficial CO2 store using a common clay as sealing material [PDF]
, 2018 This research explores the possibilities of CO2 sequestration on ceramic bricks in a short time and at surface conditions. The experiment was carried out in a specially designed reaction chamber, filled with brick wastes and sealed with common clays. The
