Researchers are now able to determine the amounts of gel produced from sea ice microbes, based on the physical nature of…
Global warming is having a significant impact on marine life, as many marine organisms are adapted to live only within the average temperature range of their habitats. This applies to larger fish and sea…
Leave a glass with nutrient-rich pond water on a sunny window sill and within a day or two it will have turned a very vibrant, verdant green. This apparent alchemy has less to do with chemistry and more…
Tobacco doesn’t immediately conjure up ideas of fuel for cars and planes. But that’s precisely what a three-year, $4.8m project from the US Department of Energy’s ARPA-E PETRO (Plants Engineered to Replace…
A new study from the University of Western Australia shows that innovations for the use of seaweed would be boosted by a…
The problem we face with fossil fuels being ultimately a finite resource has exposed our need for renewable fuels. But research is underway on new and more environmentally-savvy ways to fuel our growing…
An algae gene has enabled plants to store lipids and vegetable oil in its leaves. Unlike seeds, plants do not typically store…
Algae can get energy from other plants, researchers from Bielefeld University have found. Conventional wisdom held that plants…
A field of green algae stretching hundreds of kilometres across the ocean surface near Antarctica is so bright that it is clearly visible from space, even through thin layers of cloud. Scientists from…
Thanks to microbubble technology, harvesting algae for use as a biofuel could become easier and more affordable. The technique…
Microalgae are an interesting alternative to other biofuel crops such as corn or soy. Microalgae are individual cells or…
The discovery of dolomite contained within a living organism has begun to answer questions about coral that have been puzzling…
It’s one of the key challenges of our generation: transforming our global energy use from emissions-intensive, non-renewable fossil fuels to low-carbon, sustainable energy technologies. The challenge for…
