USC researchers have created a biodegradable, marine-safe plastic alternative using calcium carbonate from seashells, ...

"I started thinking that seashells have calcium ... To test this, POC-CC was synthesized with varying concentrations of calcium carbonate. Over six months, they observed various factors including ...

Earlier this month, Chung's lab published its findings about the new plastic alternative they developed by adding calcium carbonate from seashells into poly (1,8-octanediol-co-citrate ...

Chung has a background in biomaterials, and her lab recently developed a new biocompatible plastic alternative by adding calcium carbonate from seashells into poly (1,8-octanediol-co-citrate ...

Eggshells consist almost entirely of calcium carbonate—similar to seashells, chalk, and coral. While it can take time, the calcium from eggshells can be worked into the soil to increase its ...

Researchers have used a fungus and bacteria to create rigid, living structures similar to bone and coral, which could one day be used as a self-repairing building material ...

French researchers are turning discarded oyster shells into eco-friendly concrete with significantly lower CO₂ emissions.

This in turn dissolves granite, beginning a process that ends in calcium carbonate (the stuff of seashells and marble) being present in the runoff that eventually reaches the sea. There it ...
