Nature produces biomineral‐based materials with a fascinating set of properties using only
a limited number of elements. This set of properties is obtained by closely controlling the …

Inorganic materials have essential roles in society, including in building construction, optical
devices, mechanical engineering and as biomaterials,,–. However, the manufacture of …

This study proposes a novel method for simultaneously dealing with the waste carbide slag
(WCS) and CO 2 mitigation. In addition, the ultrafine vaterite CaCO 3 with high economic …

Calcium-based biomaterials have been intensively studied in the field of drug delivery owing
to their excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability. Calcium-based materials can also …

Many organisms use amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) and control its stability by various
additives and water; however, the underlying mechanisms are yet unclear. Here, the effect of …

The mechanisms by which organisms control the stability of amorphous calcium carbonate
(ACC) are yet not fully understood. Previous studies have shown that the intrinsic properties …

The composition of organic matter in biogenic calcium carbonate has long been a mystery,
and its role has not received sufficient attention. This study is aimed at elucidating the bio …

Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is a precursor of crystalline calcium carbonates that
plays a key role in biomineralization and polymorph evolution. Here, we show that several …

Abstract γ-dicalcium silicate (γ-C 2 S) is a potential sustainable binder owing to its high
carbonation reactivity and self-pulverization properties. In this study, porous coral powders …

The calcium carbonate hexahydrate mineral ikaite (CaCO 3⋅ 6 H 2 O) has been
documented in aquatic environments at near-freezing temperatures. An increase of the …
