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 ...

Microscopic algae that live within reef-forming corals scoop up available nitrogen, store the excess in crystal form, and slowly feed it to the coral as needed, according to a study published in mBio, ...

The rise in Earth's overall temperatures paired with fertilizer runoff is making for ideal growing conditions. Good for ...

Before plants evolved, vegetative life consisted of primitive green algae living in the sea. Like plants, these algae ...

From dog sleds to horse-drawn carts, animals have been pulling vehicles for thousands of years. Now, scientists at the University of Tokyo have made what might be the smallest version ever, designing ...

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 ...

New studies show how algae grows on ice and snow, creating “dark zones” that exacerbate melting in the consequential region.

Specifically, scientists have worked with “exosomes” — tiny biological mail trucks that stem cells dispatch to tell neighbors ...

Microalgae‑based architecture could soon come to Western Australia. A team from Murdoch University is ...

Scientists have made the world's smallest chariot - pulled by microscopic algae. Researchers have created tiny, vehicle-like structures - which see algae caught in baskets attached to the so-called ...
