An innovation interface tailors 3D-printed reefs to their marine environment and may curb reef devastation plaguing global coral ecosystems. The world's coral reefs are becoming extinct due to many ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Coral reefs are complex ecosystems, a jumble of microhabitats created by corals and the substrate beneath them: holes, areas that are smooth or rough, regions that have steep or ...

A small Dutch crowdfunding project is trying to 3D print reefs to provide habitat for fish, protection for beaches and coastal communities at risk from rising seas, and a future for reefs devastated ...

Prefer Newsweek on Google to see more of our trusted coverage when you search. Saving coral reefs just went high-tech. A 3D-printing method to preserve the reefs has been developed by researchers from ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The oceans are a vast and mysterious environment. Though they cover 70% of the planet, man has only explored about 5% of that. Angela Martinez Quintana, who received her Ph.D. at UB, ...

Inspired by the remarkable durability of ancient Roman construction materials in seawater, a University of Texas at Arlington civil engineering researcher is attempting to duplicate Roman concrete by ...

As marine biodiversity diminishes at an alarming rate, the scientific community is harnessing the power of cutting-edge technology to breathe new life into our oceans. Among the most promising ...

As a team of marine biologists, assessing the health of thousands of square metres of coral reef can be a daunting prospect. Often, we have to monitor some of the most biodiverse ecosystems on the ...

Coral reefs are complex ecosystems, a jumble of microhabitats created by corals and the substrate beneath them: holes, areas that are smooth or rough, regions with steep or shallow slopes. Where do ...
