Abstract: The authors discuss the study on the formation of aragonite as promoted dramatically within confinements. They mention that study authors recommend that pore surface might modulate ion activity and facilitate the formation of aragonite. They say that study authors offers a route for calcium carbonate polymorph control which may possibly be used by biomineralizing organisms.
