Building on these developments, researchers have now turned to an unlikely source for medical robotics: photosynthetic algae. These microscopic organisms offer several advantageous properties - they ...

In addition, the algae regulate the amount of its light-sensitive receptors and produce more carbohydrates in the form of starch. The team has published their research in the journal New Phytologist.

The figure below shows images of the algae Oscillatoria obtained with an EDF microscope and processed with our new nonlinear filtering approach implemented via a computational neural network. The ...

While humans wouldn’t be very happy to find that organisms were growing on their skin, particularly fungi, algae, and insects, it works out pretty well for sloths. Sloths may be hosting entire ...

UK scientists have created the first wide-area maps of microscopic algae growing in coastal Antarctica. Satellite observations were used to count nearly 1,700 patches where large blooms had turned ...

State health officials are warning red tide is present at the Naples Pier and beachgoers should be cautious if they have ...

Toxins made by microscopic algae in water caused the previously unexplained deaths of hundreds of elephants in Botswana, wildlife officials say. Botswana is home to a third of Africa's declining ...

Red tide is caused by high concentrations of a toxin-producing microscopic algae, called K. brevis, that is found in the Gulf of Mexico. Tests conducted Jan. 2 at the popular Collier County ...
