One of Earth's most abundant minerals, calcite is a major component of limestone and marble. It is also the most stable of ...

Here we use Bragg coherent diffraction imaging to investigate a contrasting system, the epitaxial growth of calcite (CaCO 3) crystals on organic self-assembled monolayers, where these are widely ...

These animals sometimes grow tinier calcite crystals in their eyes or in their rigid exoskeletons for strength, but not “one big crystal basically in each individual lens,” he says.

Cordierite and Tourmaline crystals were tested. So was crystallised calcium carbonate, otherwise known as Iceland spar. This is the same stone as found in the Elizabethan wreck. Calcite was found ...

The work in Nature Communications, external can hide centimetre-sized objects, limited only by the calcite crystal's size. The approach offers a simpler, more scalable route to invisibility than ...
