Energy-making chloroplasts from algae have been inserted into hamster cells, enabling the cells to photosynthesize light, according to new research in Japan. It was previously thought that combining ...

Photosynthesis, the natural process of converting sunlight energy into chemical energy and generating molecular oxygen, is a remarkable natural phenomenon that not only forms the basis for sustaining ...

The time it takes to grow new skin for burns victims could be improved thanks to a new method of cell cultivation using algae, developed by University of Queensland researchers. Subscribe to our ...

This fluorescence image shows chloroplasts (magenta colored) successfully incorporated into the hamster cells, with other features of the animal cell also highlighted (nuclei in light blue and ...

“These algae potentially have an exceptionally flexible cell wall, which differs significantly in fine structure from those of other green algae. We demonstrated this using electron microscopy. During ...

New research reveals that ice algae can store nutrients which may enable them to colonize more of the ice sheet, darkening and melting it. It's May. The sun is up and the heat from that distant star ...
