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 process that allows algae to generate energy more efficiently Jan. 23.  Inside ...

Harmful algal blooms, sometimes called HABs, occur when algae grow out of control. Algae are photosynthetic organisms that ...

In the study, red algae chloroplasts were placed into cultured hamster cells, which were then analyzed with imaging techniques like confocal and electron microscopy. Photosynthetic activity was ...

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

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

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 ...

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

CONCORDIA, Argentina - First a river ran blood red. Now Argentina’s beloved giant rodent, the capybara, has been coated in ...

These algae can turn sunlight into sugar through photosynthesis, providing nutrients for the clams. "It's like the algae are seeds, and a tree grows out of the clam's stomach," Li said.

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 ...

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 ...
