Rising rural populations, drought and climate change are making water scarcity a problem in country townships—with more ...

Plants produce a wide diversity of compounds. Broadly, these are separated into primary metabolites, which are necessary for ...

The experiments show a real chance of creating self-sufficient, closed-loop living spaces using shelters made from ...

Rising concern about environmental pollution due to traditional plastic packaging and growing demand for food safety have promoted the emergence of ...

Marine red algae biomass (Callithamnion corymbosum sp.) was used as reducing agent in ecological synthesis of gold nanoparticles. Stable gold nanoparticles were obtained by mixing aqueous solution of ...

Blue-green algal blooms tend to pop up in warm, slow-moving or still water like lakes, ponds, and rivers, says Dr. Laughinghouse; however, certain species can thrive in cooler waters too.

Green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles utilizes a wide range of platforms such as plant extracts, bacteria, algae, and fungi. Fungi are attractive agents for green synthesis of metallic ...

Engineers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), have developed a treatment for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that uses microscopic robots or microrobots coupled with green algae ...

The algae-NP (DOX)-robot biohybrid microrobot comprises red blood cell membrane-coated nanoparticles and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a small green alga used in medicine.

Colored SEM image of a microrobot made of an algae cell (green) covered with drug-filled nanoparticles (orange) coated with red blood cell membranes. Scale bar: 2 µm. Engineers at the University ...
