Tiny shards of plastic called microplastics are all over the environment and even inside human bodies. Researchers have found a type of bioengineered algae that can clean up these pesky particles.

Helium-3 dating reveals new plankton species emerged within thousands—and sometimes just 2,000—years after the dinosaur-killing impact, showing life recovered far faster than assumed.

By integrating experimental evidence across freshwater and marine systems, the study emphasizes that algae–microplastic interactions are not uniformly harmful but context-dependent, offering ...

Costa Rica faces a sargassum surge on its Caribbean shores, prompting research into turning the algae into fertilizers, ...

New geological data indicate that marine life is somewhat resilient to warming in the tropics. Chris Fokkema, Earth scientist at Utrecht University, discovered that tropical algae were largely ...

Identifying the difference between moss and algae is important because treatment approaches vary”— Thad Brown WISCONSIN ...

A researcher's keen eye and spirit of curiosity led to the discovery of a new method for cell engineering—a finding that ...

Algal biotechnology is emerging as a central field in advancing sustainable production systems for food, feed, biomaterials, and renewable energy. Recent ...

Microplastics have become a hot topic in environmental science — and a reliable source of alarming headlines. A new study reports a nifty approach to removing them using genetically engineered ...

A massive algae bloom stretches for miles in the Caloosahatchee with experts IDing a strain linked to grave illness. Drought, pollution likely to blame.

Algae blooms are expanding across the world's oceans. The first global study of floating algae was recently released by researchers at the University of South Florida College of Marine Science and the ...
