Researchers from several Parisian institutions have worked together to develop a non-destructive approach to study how unicellular organisms respond to stress, focusing on cell-to-cell differences.

Scientists at Stanford have discovered that single-celled Arctic algae can actively move at temperatures as low as –15 degree Celsius (5 °F), the coldest motion ever recorded in a eukaryotic cell. The ...

Energy-making chloroplasts from algae have been inserted into hamster cells, enabling the cells to photosynthesize light, according to new research in Japan. It was previously thought that combining ...

I went to the Reflecting Pool because, as a certain American naturalist once said of a different pond, I wished to “live deliberately” and “see if I could not learn what it had to teach.” I doubted ...

Diagram of the study’s methodology shows the conversion of elementary fluorescence kinetics (from reference dataset) into a NPQ score space. Wild-type kinetics can be mapped in this space to reveal ...
