  • Sea Urchin Could Hold Key to Carbon Capture
    Scientists at Newcastle University have discovered a way of capturing carbon dioxide inspired by the technique sea urchins use to grow their shell. The creatures absorb carbon dioxide and combine it with the high concentrations of nickel in their exoskeletons to create calcium carbonate. The research reveals a potential model for an an alternative, more effective carbon capture and storage system than currently used methods....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/sea-urchins-nickel-nanoparticles-could-hold-the-key-to-carbon-capture/'>READ ARTICLE</a>
