## Abstract Since its role in the prevention of osteoporosis in humans was proven some 30 years ago, calcium bioavailability has been the subject of numerous scientific studies. Recent technology allowing the production of a stable amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) now enables a bioavailability ana
## Abstract In contrast to the regular morphologies displayed by synthetic single crystals, biogenic single crystals frequently exhibit unusual forms and curved surfaces. Such controlled mineralization in biology occurs within restricted volumes constructed for this purpose and there is significant
**Amorphous calcium carbonate** is produced as spherical particles (see Figure) via inβsitu generation of CO~2~ by hydrolysis of dialkyl carbonates in aqueous solution of CaCl~2~ at room temperature. This method of synthesis (precipitation) allows detailed studies of the particle formation process.
