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

A common type of ocean algae plays a significant role in producing a massively abundant compound that helps cool the Earth's climate, new research has discovered.

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

Experiments on Earth mimicking the rays from a red dwarf star show that cyanobacteria, algae and moss can grow under these light conditions, backing the idea that some exoplanets could host life ...

From space, the Kuva's probe can read the spectral signatures of almost any material on Earth — including toxic algae.

New research reveals how resident algae altered the genome of these fabled sea creatures, allowing them to access more nutrients. Giant clams, some of the largest mollusks on Earth, have long ...

If algae blooms cause the snowpack to melt even a few weeks earlier, that could cause problems for agriculture, hydropower generation and species such as salmon that depend on cool freshets at ...

Tyler Coale at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and his colleagues have now shown that this bacterium has evolved into a new cellular structure, or organelle.

First study author Laura Halbach of the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology used newly developed methods to measure nutrient absorption and storage in this algae. “I wanted to understand how ...

Adding a type of methane-inhibiting red algae directly to cow feces cut down methane emission from the poop by about 44 percent, researchers report.
