Researchers are developing bioplastic bubbles from algae that could grow, repair, and protect habitats on Mars without ...

Pollution by microplastics is increasingly posing a major threat to the world’s seas and oceans, as well as human health, ...

A lab experiment that simulated Mars conditions showed that green algae can grow in plastic containers made from the same ...

If humans are ever going to live beyond Earth, they'll need to construct habitats. But transporting enough industrial ...

A very special look was presented earlier this week by fashion designer Iris van Herpen at the Paris Haute Couture Week. The ...

The technique involves passing industrial emissions through a specialised bioreactor pond, where microalgae absorb carbon dioxide. As a result, biomass is produced and then converted into ...

The time it takes to grow new skin for burns victims could be improved thanks to a new method of cell cultivation using algae ...

A new forecasting tool developed by University of Florida researchers is set to tackle one of Florida's most toxic challenges—algae blooms.

Production of algae requires water, solar energy and nutrients, and is controlled within bioreactors (think big fish tanks), open ponds or a combination of these two technologies.

Protein design articles from across Nature Portfolio Protein design (or protein engineering) is a technique by which proteins with enhanced or novel functional properties are created.
