The time it takes to grow new skin for burns victims could be improved thanks to a new method of cell cultivation using algae ...
The newly discovered algae species Streptofilum arcticum possesses a potentially highly flexible cell wall to help it survive droughts.
The scientists produced these particles by genetically engineering diatom algae, tiny single-celled algae organisms that are unique due to their cell walls, which encase the inner parts of the ...
To survive out of water, plants developed sturdy vascular systems and strong cell walls. Those same characteristics make for excellent preservation in fossils.
Heavy metals bind to algae cell walls, so researchers dried and pulverized samples of chlorella and other algaes and placed them in wastewater samples containing several types of heavy metals.
The process also breaks into algae cell walls to release oils and other components that can be separated out during other phases of processing. Algae are highly sensitive to electromagnetic waves.
Engineers devise technology to prevent fouling in photobioreactors for CO2 capture Applying a small voltage to the walls of algae growing tanks can prevent cloudy buildup and allow more ...
In this episode of Tiny Show and Tell Us, we explore the unexpected ways algae (and the things that kill them) influence cloud formation. We also chat about the massive galaxy walls in our universe, ...
