A Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) scan is gaining traction for its ability to assess heart attack risk more accurately. The quick, non-invasive test detects hidden plaque build-up in arteries ...

Scientists have discovered a new type of cell that helps Burmese pythons digest the entire skeletons of their prey.

Some species of fig trees store calcium carbonate in their trunks—essentially turning themselves (partially) into stone, new research has found. The team of Kenyan, U.S., Austrian, and Swiss ...

Some carbon dioxide absorbed by fig trees gets turned into calcium carbonate within the wood and the surrounding soil, ensuring that the carbon is kept out of the air for longer ...

Lake Natron is a soda lake in northern Tanzania with a volcanic geology that maintains the water's pH around 10.5, which is almost as caustic as ammonia. Some life-forms thrive there nevertheless.

Calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) is a supplement used to increase blood calcium levels, support bone health, reduce stomach acid, and lower phosphate levels.

The most commonly discussed materials are sulfate and calcium carbonate, she said, not the chemicals mentioned in the town hall. Does jet fuel contain aluminum and strontium?

Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is a natural product found in many settings, including the minerals aragonite1 and calcite2; the sedimentary rocks limestone3 and chalk4; and animal structures such as ...

There’s a “pretty good body of literature” suggesting that these three new color additives — called Galdieria extract blue, butterfly pea flower extract and calcium phosphate — should be ...

Calcium carbonate biomineralization, crucial for many marine organisms, often proceeds via amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) as an intermediate. Using a stopped-flow in situ small-angle X-ray ...

Sediment-gobbling also releases nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus and calcium carbonate from the sand, to be used by other animals.
