A postdoctoral researcher in the department of physics and biology at Princeton University gave a guest lecture about a process that allows algae to generate energy more efficiently Jan. 23. Inside ...

Cambridge University researchers claim that a new two-cell bio-photovoltaics that utilizes algae cells represents a big step forward in the search for cleaner energy. Scientists at the famous ...

Gas bubbles released by marine algae during photosynthesis produce sound whose intensity correlates with the degree of algal cover on coral reefs, according to a new study. Gas bubbles released by ...

Algae are a diverse group of aquatic organisms that have the ability to conduct photosynthesis. Certain algae are familiar to most people; for instance, seaweeds (such as kelp or phytoplankton), pond ...

BATON ROUGE, La. -- Photosynthesis is the natural process plants and algae utilize to capture sunlight and fix carbon dioxide into energy-rich sugars that fuel growth, development, and in the case of ...

Although photosynthesis by algae is a key part of the symbiotic relationship it is not required to initiate symbiosis. The discovery adds to the little-understood relationship between cnidarians and ...

Too much sun can ruin photosynthesis, scorching plants and other organisms that depend on capturing sunlight for energy. Beneath the waves, though, algae have found a clever shield. Subscribe to our ...

The state of Queensland in the north east of Australia is renowned for its iconic beaches, dedicated surfers, and stunning ecosystems such as the Great Barrier Reef. But Noosaville, one-hour drive ...

At the L1 site, the pigment siphonein (orange) binds close to a cluster of chlorophyll molecules (Chl a610–a612, green), enabling efficient energy quenching. Too much sun can ruin a day at the beach.
