The algae was buried in sediment beneath the Baltic Sea with no light or oxygen. Researchers have successfully revived algae that remained dormant within sediment at the bottom of the Baltic Sea ...

The scientists found that their green algae-based micro swimmers were barely affected by the extra load. With their flagella, which perform a breast-stroke movement, the algae catapulted ...

While the world under the ice might seem still, it's actually alive with microorganisms such as algae year round, both in the water and inside the ice. With the help of Budziak and the diving ...

Each of the underlying single-celled parasites — Trypanosoma brucei (T. brucei) and its relatives — has one flagellum, a whiplike appendage that is essential for moving, infecting hosts and surviving ...

SOME cilia and flagella beat in a complex three-dimensional manner, and, in addition, the angular velocity at the tip is greater than at the base. Presumably the bundle of fibrils which make up a ...

In medical technology, microrobots are the next big thing. With dimensions below that of a sand grain, these microbots are ...

PHYSICOCHEMICAL characterization of components of flagella and cilia is essential for an understanding of the mechanisms underlying flagellar and ciliary movement. The so-called “9 + 2” fibres ...

Note that the algae is just a cell without legs and feet. Birgül Akolpoglu and Saadet Fatma Baltaci, who co-led the study, are scientists from the Physical Intelligence Department at MPI-IS.

Researchers knew that many species of algae produced energy-dense lipids that could be converted to biofuels, and teams around the world began to explore how to supercharge this lipid production.

Clean and safe lake water is an important part of the Finnish identity. In recent decades, interest in the condition of lake waters has increased. Land use and climate change are creating new ...
