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

Microscopic ocean algae produce a huge share of Earth’s oxygen—but they need iron to do it. New field research shows that when iron is scarce, phytoplankton waste energy and photosynthesis falters.

If you want to heal a deep wound or reverse the clock on aging skin, the cutting edge of science has long pointed to one ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

Nikon’s Small World in Motion competition offers a unique window into life under a microscope. A tardigrade, colloquially known as water bears, move around a volvox algae colony. Tardigrades are water ...

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 ...
