Calcium (Ca) is one of the most abundant elements on Earth, and it is easily accessible and very cheap. In comparison with transition-metal elements, Ca is biocompatible and environmentally friendly.

Researchers have spotted a strong family trait in two distant relatives: The channels that permit entry of sodium and calcium ions into cells share similar means for regulating ion intake. The new ...

Calcium bioavailability in aqueous environments is determined by the interplay of solubility, complex formation and the kinetics of precipitation. In physiological and food‐processing contexts, ...

This post is the third in a three-part series on how living creatures use the elements of the periodic table. Read earlier posts here and here, and learn more about the elements on NOVA's two-hour ...

A team has succeeded in computing how atomic nuclei of the Calcium element behave in collisions with electrons. Results agree very well with available experimental data. For the first time, a ...

There are basically two ways to look at the economy – macro-economically and micro-economically. The BBC has taken that one step further – they’re looking at the economy micro-scopically, if you will.
