Algae may be found in oceans and lakes, but some scientists are hoping that the next place you’ll see these organisms is a coal-fired power plant. That’s because algae, which mostly reside in aquatic ...

Believe it or not, the simplest form of life can actually outsmart the most complex life form when it comes to protecting the climate. That’s where a Jharkhand-based startup is betting big time. The ...

23 July 2010 – Swedish utility Vattenfall has launched a pilot project using algae to absorb greenhouse gas emissions from a coal fired power plant in eastern Germany. The EUR2m ($2.6m) trial run, ...

University of Colorado Boulder engineers have developed a way to make bioluminescent algae glow far longer than usual by using chemical triggers. Pyrocystis lunula embedded in 3D-printed hydrogel ...

Instead of fishing or playing golf, a pair of Honda Powersports engineers have been spending their weekends collecting kitchen grease from bars and restaurants and converting it to homemade biodiesel ...

Phototropin responds to blue light and regulates starch storage by activating or deactivating PMSK1, a protein that controls starch synthesis. Blue light reduces starch accumulation, while red light ...

Brilliant Planet's test facility with algae ponds in Morocco, as seen from the air. Forests sequester vast amounts of carbon dioxide but grow very slowly. What if we could grow a mature forest in a ...

Using intricate geometry found in nature and refined through aerospace and biomedical design, scientists have now 3D-printed these forms into concrete to boost strength and capture carbon – creating a ...
