Italy's Phlegraean Fields is a hotspot of volcanic activity—an ever-shifting landscape pocketed with acidic hot springs. This ...

A postdoctoral researcher in the department of physics and biology at Princeton University gave a guest lecture about a ...

When Palacio and her team examined coral reefs after the 2015–2016 heat wave, they found that particular corals called ...

Researchers around the world are working on new technologies to capture carbon from the atmosphere, but many approaches fall short on one key metric: their ability to scale. Nature, however, has ...

Cyanobacteria began contributing oxygen to Earth's mostly noxious atmosphere more than 2 billion years ago. The photosystem ...

Jovine, the cofounder and chief scientist of Brilliant Planet, is trying to engineer high-growth microalgae strains to ...

This allows the plant to capture and store carbon dioxide until the Sun rises again, offering the light necessary to complete photosynthesis. Algae are widely thought to conduct half of the world ...

Thus, studying the relationship between photosynthetic algae and their nitrogen-fixing endosymbionts could give scientists new strategies to engineer crops that can pull nitrogen from the air. To ...

Harmful algal blooms, sometimes called HABs, occur when algae grow out of control. Algae are photosynthetic organisms that mostly live in water and rely on the sunlight for energy. Because of ...

Giant clams grow huge by relying on algae for energy. Scientists found genes that help them live with algae and grow big.

What would happen if a 500-meter asteroid hit Earth? Scientists at the IBS Center for Climate Physics modeled the aftermath, ...

The team isolated the chloroplasts from algal cells using a centrifuge and gentle stirring. Instead of then piercing the host cells’ membranes, as in earlier work, the researchers adjusted the culture ...
