Carbon dioxide (CO₂), the greenhouse gas fueling climate change, is increasingly shaping our lives. It drives rising seas, ...

Scientists have found a new way to fight climate change—by turning carbon dioxide (CO₂) into strong, fire-resistant building ...

A new manufacturing method inspired by coral reefs can captture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and transform it into durable, fire-reistant building materials.

Objects and Ideograms has developed a method to 3D-print calcium carbonate, which can be used as a scaffold for the growth of coral polyps and other aquatic life. Coral carbonate utilises its ...

Beneath the soft bodies of scleractinian, or stony corals, polyps secrete a calcium carbonate skeleton, and it is this skeleton that becomes the foundation of coral reef ecosystems. Coral colonies ...

Marine heat waves, sea level rise and ocean acidification — consequences of climate change — threaten coral animals, their calcium carbonate structures and the ecosystems they anchor. If scientists ...

The researchers at the University of Southern California have taken inspiration from coral reefs to create fire-resistant, ...

A new method inspired by coral reefs can capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and transform it into durable, fire-resistant building materials ...

Coral reefs are made up of colonies of hundreds to thousands of tiny individual corals, called polyps. These marine invertebrate animals have hard exoskeletons made of calcium carbonate, and are ...
