The ability to mass-produce sustainable materials from thin air sounds like a fantasy pitch. Yet the prospect is now a ...

During the winters of 2024 and 2025, widespread "spinning fish" events swept through the Florida Keys, impacting more than 80 ...

Scientists believe the first true plants evolved from green algae around 470 million years ago. These early plants lived in shallow water near shorelines, where conditions changed often. Sometimes ...

A very special scum is growing at the wastewater treatment plant. Before flowing into t River, a privileged 0.6% of Santa Fe’s flushed wastewater has, since last August, enjoyed a brief ...

Scientists studying the plant have discovered a new way to boost the efficiency of rubisco — the enzyme that powers life on Earth — and hope to transfer the trick to crops.

Researchers have uncovered a molecular trick used by hornwort plants that could help future crops capture carbon dioxide more efficiently. A unique protein feature called RbcS-STAR causes the key ...

Airports are testing algae-filled bioreactors as a biological alternative to conventional air filtration, targeting the headaches, fatigue, and respiratory irritation collectively known as sick ...

The 125 gallons of algae in the airport can purify as much air as 5,000 houseplants. 'Sick building syndrome' is a growing ...

Ancient fossils show how much warming tropical oceans can handle before plankton collapse, offering clues about future ...

An international team of researchers has uncovered a remarkable molecular trick used by a unique group of land plants, one that could eventually be engineered into crops like wheat and rice to ...

New research shows that early land plants started influencing Earth’s climate hundreds of millions of years earlier than expected.

Abstract: The carbon in the atmosphere is a leading cause of climate change. Therefore, solutions are urgently sought that not only capture the excess carbon but also can make use of it to produce ...
