Researchers are developing bioplastic bubbles from algae that could grow, repair, and protect habitats on Mars without ...

A new study led by Harvard biologists describes how some sea slugs consume algae and incorporate their photosynthetic ...

The experiments show a real chance of creating self-sufficient, closed-loop living spaces using shelters made from ...

Making animal cells produce fuel. In the study, red algae chloroplasts were placed into cultured hamster cells, which were then analyzed with imaging techniques like confocal and electron microscopy.

The study, led by biologists at Harvard University, found that the slugs build sac-like structures known as kleptosomes out of their own cells in which the chloroplasts are stashed. The kleptosomes ...

A new part of an ocean plant cell has been discovered that might revolutionize farming one day. The structure can take nitrogen and convert it into the ingredient that helps all organisms grow.

Algae grown under Mars-like conditions could make bioplastic building materials for structures to harbor life in space.

A team of researchers is tapping into the ocean’s vast body of free-floating environmental DNA to catch blooms before they ...

Geary County’s Gathering Pond is in a blue-green algae warning, while Pottawatomie County’s Jeffery Energy Make-Up Lake is in ...

DTU researchers have developed an important coating for underwater drones and solar cell platforms. The coating will not adorn the drones in different colors, but rather act as a self-polishing ...

Toxic algae in a part of Lake Okeechobee that's in Martin County prompted a June 27 Florida Department of Health water ...
