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

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 ...

Siruthuli and Coimbatore Corporation pilot project restores Urumandampalayam pond using phyco-remediation to improve water ...

It is an important secondary component for many plants and animals, serving structural and functional roles. For example, ...

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

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

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.

According to the computer simulations, the post-collision increase of marine productivity would be most pronounced for silicate-rich algae—referred to as diatoms. Their blooms would also attract ...

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.

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 ...
