Their findings, published in Science Advances, described the development of biohybrid microrobots from green algae laden with chemotherapeutic drugs which reduced lung metastasis burden and prolonged ...

The recent algae bloom in the National Mall's Reflecting Pool highlights a common issue with these diverse, photosynthetic organisms. While often a nuisance, especially toxic cyanobacteria, algae are ...

Iron and hydrogen peroxide trigger cell death via ferroptosis, which cascades killer molecules through the population, ...

Energy-making chloroplasts from algae have been inserted into hamster cells, enabling the cells to photosynthesize light, according to new research in Japan. It was previously thought that combining ...

“These algae potentially have an exceptionally flexible cell wall, which differs significantly in fine structure from those of other green algae. We demonstrated this using electron microscopy. During ...

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 ...

I went to the Reflecting Pool because, as a certain American naturalist once said of a different pond, I wished to “live deliberately” and “see if I could not learn what it had to teach.” I doubted ...
