A large, clear yellowish, glob caught in Thunder Bay along Lake Huron was a bryozoan colony, native to the habitat.

Sometimes the connections we make between disparate things are less than obvious. For Debra Edgerton, the connection between ...

A new climate modeling study presents a new scenario of how climate and life on our planet would change in response to a potential future strike of a medium-sized (~500 m) asteroid.

Near-Earth asteroid Bennu has a slim chance of colliding with Earth in 2182. If it does, the impact could trigger a global ...

Europe's water bodies are in poor condition: more than half of them are heavily polluted with chemicals. This is hardly surprising—every day, up to 70,000 different chemicals are used in Europe's ...

Their recent study demonstrates* that the fossil remains of diatoms (a type of algae) can efficiently remove contaminants from water after being chemically modified. Researchers have identified ...

Their recent study published in Advanced Sustainable Systems demonstrates that the fossil remains of diatoms (a type of algae) can efficiently remove contaminants from water after being chemically ...

Algae such as diatoms along with dinoflagellates and cyanobacteria dominate these blooms, which have significant ecological implications, said Dr. Balakrishnan. He explained that though ...

It also grows a type of bacteria called Arthospira, also known as blue-green algae, as it shares similar properties with microalgae. When dried out it is known as spirulina and is used as a ...
