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

The intricate, hidden processes that sustain coral life are being revealed through a new microscope developed by scientists ...

If humans are ever going to live beyond Earth, they'll need to construct habitats. But transporting enough industrial material to create livable spaces would be incredibly challenging and expensive.

However, light that leaves our star also contains UVC radiation, which has a shorter wavelength than UVA or UVB light and ...

Marine algae, especially haptophytes, are vital for marine life, contributing up to 50% of the ocean's biomass and playing a major role in the global carbon cycle.

Uncovering a unique light-harvesting structure in marine algae Photosystem II–FCPII complex found in a marine alga could shape the future of artificial photosynthesis Peer-Reviewed Publication ...

Like corn, algae can be turned into ethanol and used as a gas substitute. Compared to an acre of corn, algae grown in the same amount of space can produce 10 to 100 times more fuel.

The documentary discusses the evolution of algae, their reproductive methods, and their adaptability to different habitats, including freshwater, marine environments, and even extreme conditions.

This algae, C. merolae, flourishes in acidic hot springs, an environment hostile to most forms of life. Scientists are studying how this organism performs photosynthesis under such conditions, ...

Cassidy Alspaugh (GRD ’30), a first-year doctoral student in the biology department who attended the seminar, said GrandPre’s research expanded her understanding of photosynthesis in algae. “I had not ...

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy. It mainly occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells. During photosynthesis, ...
