A better understanding of coral skeleton growth suggests ways to restore reefs

ScienceDaily   -   General News Websites

Physicists observed reef-forming corals at the nanoscale and identified how they create their skeletons. The results provide an explanation for how corals are resistant to acidifying oceans and suggest that controlling water temperature, not acidi...
