The next time you breathe, consider this: Photosynthesis of algae, powered by iron dust in the ocean, made it possible.
Researchers have captured the first clear view of the hidden architecture that helps shape a simple multicellular organism, showing how cells work together to build complex life forms.
Uranium is found in minerals in the soil, dissolves in mining water and ends up in the fields together with phosphate fertilizer. In Germany, the heavy metal uranium is particularly common in Saxony and Thuringia, although ...
Astronauts exploring the moon will need all the help they can get, and scientists have spent lots of time and plenty of money coming up with different systems to do so. Two of the critical needs of any long-term lunar mission ...
Cornell food scientists have created a natural blue food dye made of algae protein that could replace petroleum-based artificial food colorants with a stable, adaptable option.
A team of chemists is pioneering a new approach to creating plastics made from whole-cell algae and common chemical components. These biohybrid plastics are strong, highly adaptable, and fully recyclable.
At a beach near Algiers, brown algae native to the Pacific Ocean cover the golden sand, posing a threat to ecosystems native to the area and their stench repelling swimmers at the peak of summer.
Terrestrial plants drove an increase in global photosynthesis between 2003 and 2021, a trend partially offset by a weak decline in photosynthesis—the process of using sunlight to make food—among marine algae, according to ...
Algal growth is accelerating in lakes across Canada, including those far from human development, and a new study shows that climate change is the primary driver.
Engineered photosynthetic algae could be used within sunlight-powered sustainable chemical biofactories using a new circular production process developed at KAUST. The scalable process uses bespoke functionalized microparticles—rather ...
