Inclusion of organic molecules in inorganic crystals is thought to enhance their mechanical properties, yet obtaining high occlusion levels has been a challenge. It is now shown that synthetic calcite ...
When looking at calcite under a microscope, a scientist would immediately recognize the crystalline form of calcium carbonate by its rhombohedral appearance. That is, calcite is shaped like a ...

Dinosaur eggs the size of cannonballs were discovered packed with massive crystals instead of fossilized bones
Two nearly spherical dinosaur eggs recovered from eastern China have drawn international attention not because of what they ...
In today's video I teamed up with a bunch of friends to go Calcite Crystal hunting here in Florida! What makes these crystals ...
This review focuses on the effect of water on the binding conformation of an organic molecule at a hydrated calcite crystal surface. A recent molecular dynamics simulation suggested that water ...
Ling Li, an assistant professor in mechanical engineering at Virginia Tech, has found insights into building stronger and tougher ceramics by studying the shells of bivalve mollusks. EPFL's Laboratory ...
Spots of light glinted off the faceted sides of more than a dozen calcite crystals stuck inside a small cave at the top of a steep, rocky couloir. Tom Benedict balanced on a thin log spread across the ...
