WHAT if we could build artificial coral reefs to filter microplastics from the sea? That’s a possibility put forward by ...

In a world first, an advanced construction sized 3D printer could revolutionise artificial reef design and produce reef units that look and function like a natural reef, a major step forward in a bid ...

"Remember, natural coral reefs are only found in tropical ... The team's architected reef design grew out of two seemingly unrelated problems. CBA researchers were developing ultralight cellular ...

Reporting in Proceedings Biological Sciences, researchers found that a species of branching coral benefitted from a reef-dwelling crab, especially when the coral was heat-stressed and wounded. The ...

A branching coral under pressure from heat and physical damage appears to gain crucial support from a particular ...

"By understanding the forces involved in microplastic adhesion, we can design solutions that not only prevent further harm, but also mitigate further microplastic pollution in coral reefs," said Dr.

Understanding ecological factors that shield coral reefs from harm could inform conservation ... Learning how these species respond to stress can help us design better strategies to conserve ...

Coral reefs around the world are rapidly declining, thanks to the effects of climate change. Now, a new Australian study suggests that artificial intelligence could be the solution. Australian ...

Oren Levy from Bar-Ilan University, in collaboration with an international team of researchers, has uncovered a significant pause in coral reef growth in the Gulf of Eilat/Aqaba, northern Red Sea ...
