If you suffer from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a pill full of tiny algae robots may be just what you need. The bio-hybrid microrobots have already been shown to reduce symptoms and promote ...

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 ...

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 ...

A researcher's keen eye and spirit of curiosity led to the discovery of a new method for cell engineering—a finding that opens doors to more sustainable sources for everything from fuel to vitamin ...

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 ...

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 layer ...

Animals that resemble plants are not uncommon in the wild. Many creatures use this mimicry for camouflage purposes. One sea slug, however, doesn’t just look like a plant, it actually functions like ...

By integrating experimental evidence across freshwater and marine systems, the study emphasizes that algae–microplastic interactions are not uniformly harmful but context-dependent, offering ...

Ancient fossils show how much warming tropical oceans can handle before plankton collapse, offering clues about future ...
