Building like a Coral—Parallelized, Multiscale Biofabrication
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Corals build stiff, strong, and inherently circular skeletal materials under resource‐ and energy‐limited conditions—offering blueprints for transformative materials. We synthesize the current understanding of coral biomineralization and reframe coral growth as a multiscale, parallelized biofabrication process.
