A new handheld microscope lets scientists monitor coral health in real time, underwater, without harming reefs.

Researchers discovered how coccolithophores, a subset of haptophytes, harness the sun's energy, which could lead to ...

A new diver-operated microscope is revolutionizing coral research by allowing scientists to observe photosynthesis and microalgae behavior directly in the ocean. Developed by UC San Diego’s Scripps ...

For a decade, scientists have believed that plants sensed temperature mainly through specialized proteins, and mainly at ...

Scientists have developed a material with photosynthetic bacteria that convert carbon dioxide into a mineral skeleton. The material hardens over time, so it could be used for buildings, they say.

Under the sea ice during the Arctic’s pitch-black polar night, cells power photosynthesis on the lowest light levels ever observed in nature.
