Native mass spectrometry that targets the blue component of blue-green algae has been found to be more sensitive to potentially toxic blooms than current techniques. Researchers at the University of ...

From dog sleds to horse-drawn carts, animals have been pulling vehicles for thousands of years. Now, scientists at the University of Tokyo have made what might be the smallest version ever, designing ...

A marine biologist from Brazil is studying the microscopic zooxanthellae algae that live within coral to see to what extent it can help reefs bounce back from bleaching. Due to climate change, coral ...

Harvesting biofuel from algae is effective, but not yet practical. A UB-led research project — funded by a $2 million U.S. Department of Energy grant — is tackling this problem using polyculture ...

Studying life in the ocean is never without its challenges, while some species can be studied via drone, or by opportunistic citizen scientists, studying microscopic life presents even more problems.

Enclosed though he was in 9-ft. by 5-ft. tank, Biologist Joe D. McClure was not alone: connected with him by pipes were several billion or trillion single-celled algae (Chlorella). Looking like ...

What do microscopic viruses and algae on Lake Winnipeg have in common? An internationally trained freshwater researcher at ...

Algae found in the sea can be used to make products as diverse as food, personal care items and flip-flops. To explore those uses, the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences will use a $7 million ...
