Deep beneath the ocean surface, a quiet chemical war has been raging for millions of years, and scientists are now learning ...

A study at the University of Cordoba shows how algae produce auxin, a plant hormone, opening a path of communication with bacteria to generate synergies that could benefit agricultural production. The ...

University of Jyväskylä is developing microalgae monitoring methods for commercial cultivations in a two-year research project, coordinated by VTT and funded by Business Finland. Neste and seven ...

Algae holds a lot of untapped potential for use in industry. So far algae has provided invaluable nutrition in the health food sector but has struggled to be competitive against petroleum-derived ...

Algae photovoltaics for hydrogen production South Korea researchers have developed a cell by merging green algae with carbon nanofibers, in order to generate 9.5 W per cell and achieve a peak ...

Algae grow fast, and in the case of spirulina, they're also rich in protein. This makes it an interesting product to grow with a view to the future. That's why, in the academic world, there's a lot of ...

UB engineering professor Ian Bradley and his research group are collaborators on a $2 million project funded by the U.S. Department of Energy that will study the use of algae to purify wastewater ...

ATLANTA, March 25, 2026 — Biodiesel is a renewable fuel and offers a sustainable and potentially carbon-neutral alternative to petroleum products. Yet production costs remain a hurdle to its ...

UC Santa Cruz researchers use passive resin samplers to track chemical cues, extending predictive lead time for harmful algal blooms in Monterey Bay by up to seven weeks.

As our climate changes, so will our diets. Fix is exploring that reality through the lens of foods that show what sustainable, equitable, and resilient eating could look like. Try them yourself with ...
