New research succeeds in taking a key step towards the production of sustainable chemicals in living microfactories. Fossil raw materials are limited and not available and extractable everywhere in ...

By Vijay Kumar Malesu From high-quality protein to omega-3s and antioxidants, algae emerge as a promising but carefully ...

The movement patterns of microscopic algae can be mapped in greater detail than ever before, giving new insights into ocean health, thanks to new technology developed at the University of Exeter. The ...

A new study shows that despite coral's natural adaptive capacity, even moderate global warming could see the destruction of our coral reefs. You are more likely to take a trip to the Moon than to see ...

Ocean waves in El Segundo, CA glowed neon blue as they crashed ashore. The bioluminescent display was caused by microscopic marine algae. They are reddish-brown by day, but light up at night when ...

The microscopic algae that live inside and provide nutrients to their reef-building coral hosts may be evolving in tandem with the corals they inhabit. A new study by biologists reveals that genetic ...

Harmful Algal blooms are colonies of microscopic algae that grow out of control. They can be damaging to people, wildlife and the environment. See aerial view of the Forest Fair Mall demolition in ...

With spring break just days away, red tide has been reported in several Florida locations, bringing respiratory problems to some and fish kills to some beach hot spots. The worst water samples are ...

If you don't mind stretching things a bit, a horse or any other animal used to pull human-made vehicles is a sort of living engine. Our species has been using them forever, and we still do, despite ...

The "chariot" being pulled by algae. (Shoji Takeuchi Research Group at University of Tokyo via SWNS) By Dean Murray via SWNS Scientists have made the world's smallest chariot - pulled by microscopic ...

Fossil raw materials are limited and not available and extractable everywhere in the world – as we are becoming acutely aware of right now by the example of fossil fuels and rising energy prices.
