Despina Linaraki is a lecturer in architecture but instead of designing city skyscrapers, she is building structures for an underwater world. She traded Columbia University in New York for the Gold ...

In a bit of biological magic, some tiny, jellyfish-like creatures learned eons ago how to weave seawater into durable, life-sustaining, rocky coral reefs, which provide billions in economic benefits.

In a new study published today in Proceedings of the Royal Society, the scientists show how tiny hydrozoans, polyps smaller than one millimeter and commonly found in dense colonies on the surface of ...
