Researchers have jointly led an expansive, years-long international collaboration that has resulted in a paper detailing the ability to control and increase resistance to deformation in pure calcite ...

We describe a procedure for measuring the thickness and mass of calcite particles that works for most calcite particles <4.5-μm thick. The calcite particles are observed in cross-polarized light, ...

(Nanowerk News) No self-respecting construction engineer would ever choose pure calcite – a weak, brittle mineral found in chalk – as a building material. But what if you could somehow strengthen ...
