In 1898 I pointed out certain resemblances to the relations between a symbiotic organism and its host in the relations between a crystal, utilised as a spicule, and the sponge which has secreted ...

Glass sponges (Hexactinellida) are deep-sea animals with silica-based, glass-like spicules forming intricate skeletons. Some create “glass houses” that remain intact after death. Their ...

After processing, the sponge powder contains precisely sized and shaped silica spicules that upon application may help exfoliate the skin, promote collagen production, open closed comedones ...

So, for this discovery, they analyzed the “spicules,” the skeletal remains of the sponges, using powerful microscopes in their laboratory. She explained that the way spicules are organized in a sponge ...

A team of engineers from RMIT’s Centre for Innovative Structures and Materials utilized biomimicry to develop a super-strong lattice structure that provides enhanced performance compared to ...

The carbonate factory concept was proposed to understand the spatial dynamics and processes involved in carbonate production, which was heavily influenced by climate change. The Permian period ...

Glass sponges are usually somewhere on the color spectrum from orange to white. Their structure depends on the constant pressure provided by their deep-sea environment. Their spicules make up a mostly ...
