It could be the plot of a summer sci-fi blockbuster: A creature feeds on its prey and inherits its "superpower." Only this is real. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. A ...

Scientists have discovered the largest known protein in biology. Given the fun name of PKZILLA-1, the protein was found in algae cells and helps them make toxins that are responsible for mass killings ...

This fluorescence image shows chloroplasts (magenta colored) successfully incorporated into the hamster cells, with other features of the animal cell also highlighted (nuclei in light blue and ...

Engineered algae are a bioremediation triple threat, synergizing microplastic removal, upcycling and wastewater nutrient ...

A tiny algae recently discovered in India is helping to reconstruct how the oceans moved millions of years ago.

A hidden pigment helps ocean algae harness sunlight without getting burned—and it may hold clues for better solar tech.
