Japanese researchers have achieved a breakthrough by inserting energy-generating chloroplasts from algae into hamster cells, allowing these animal cells to photosynthesize. Previously, it was believed ...

The time it takes to grow new skin for burns victims could be improved thanks to a new method of cell cultivation using algae, developed by University of Queensland researchers. Our work shows muscle ...

Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Biology have discovered a remarkably streamlined strategy for developmental ...

To test their setup, researchers allowed algae cells to stick to the surface of the photobioreactor. When they applied a voltage, the bubbles separated the cells from the surfaces without harming them ...

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Steven Haller remembers the look of fear on people's faces when toxic algae in Lake Erie made it into his community's water supply 10 years ago, shutting it down for two days.

How would you like it if you could recharge just by sitting out in the Sun? The ability to use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) and water into oxygen and energy is traditionally the exclusive ...

A research team at Southern Illinois University Carbondale has received a second grant to continue its work to prevent ...

A team of researchers in Germany have revived algae cells found buried at the bottom of the Baltic Sea, where they’d lain dormant for more than 7,000 years. For millennia, the cells, imprisoned under ...

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

Bacteria are only the only organisms that are able to 'fix' nitrogen, or remove it from the atmosphere and convert it into a useful form. While some plants seem to fix nitrogen, it is actually ...

Scientists have grown algae that was collected from the bottom of the Baltic Sea, and which probably sank about 7,000 years ago. Although it was without light or oxygen for thousands of years, it ...
