Scientists have modeled the potential consequences of a 500-meter asteroid colliding with Earth. The research delves into how such an event would impact both terrestrial and marine ecosystems.

Scientists have found that an increase in water salinity in the cells of the marine diatom Nitzschia weakens the connections ...

What would happen if a 500-meter asteroid hit Earth? Scientists at the IBS Center for Climate Physics modeled the aftermath, ...

While microscopy has contributed to the tremendous knowledge on diatoms in these environments, until now little data has been available on green algae, apart from those in tropical salt ponds, or on ...

If you come across one of these goopy colonies, don't fear! While they may be gross, they are native to the Great Lakes and harmless to the waters.

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 winter that affects our planet for years.

But if the iron content in Bennu is high and distributed across the ocean, it could trigger unprecedented blooms of algae, in particular the silicate-rich kind called diatoms, for up to three ...

This work investigated the occurrence of harmful algae in Paranaguá Bay, as well as the presence of toxins in the filter feeding mussel Mytella guyanensis, a local fishery resource. Samples along the ...

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 ...
