A discovery in tiny algae led to a Nobel Prize-winning breakthrough that allows scientists to switch brain cells on and off using light. The revolutionary technique has already helped researchers activate memories and is opening new possibilities for…

Self-assembling swarms of microrobots could someday deliver drugs and pull toxins from water.

Every week, sloths climb down to do their business on the forest floor—where predators lie in wait.

From Indianexpress RSS Feed: Not tiny animals, just algae: Study challenges evidence for early animal life on Earth

The single-celled organisms usually shimmer for mere milliseconds, but researchers figured out how to sustain their illumination. The technology could one day be used to light robots' ways in the deep sea or space

Is unsightly green algae or moss ruining your patio? Pouring on this common cleaning ingredient is the simple solution for a clear outdoor space. Here's why.

Researchers created a special kind of algae that can grab microscopic plastic pollution out of water almost like a magnet. The algae produce limonene, an orange-scented oil that helps them bind to water-repelling microplastics, forming easy-to-remove…

Scientists revisiting mysterious 540-million-year-old microfossils from Brazil have overturned a major idea about early animal life. What were once thought to be trails left behind by tiny worm-like creatures are now believed to be fossilized communities…

The bioluminescent plants are a potential alternative to electrical light and batteries.

Scientists suggest algae could be embedded within biosensors that glow when toxins detected in the environment

Scientists have discovered a newly identified marine fungus that can infect and kill toxic algae responsible for harmful blooms.
