High salinities are thought to inhibit nitrogen fixation by cyanobacteria in coastal waters. In contrast, Tang et al. show that nitrogen fixation in a coastal cyanobacterium requires sodium ions ...

This article explains when and how an external fixator is used, the types of devices, and how to avoid infection or other possible risks. External fixation is accomplished by placing pins or screws ...

If scientists can figure out how to genetically engineer it, this single-celled organism’s natural quirks could become supercharged into a low-waste carbon capture system. Cyanobacteria like ...

In a collaboration, the researchers at the Wyss Institute at Harvard University and the University of Palermo have discovered a new strain of cyanobacteria. This strain, nicknamed “Chonkus,” is adept ...

In volcanic ocean vents off the coast of Italy, researchers have discovered a new strain of cyanobacteria that could pack a particularly effective punch when it comes to capturing carbon dioxide ...

Open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) is a surgical approach that's used for repairing certain types of bone fractures. An open reduction is an invasive surgical bone realignment, as opposed to a ...

Carbon pricing is about recognizing the cost of pollution and accounting for those costs in our daily decisions by choosing less carbon-intensive options. Fuel charge: paid by fuel distributors and ...

That’s a problem because the permafrost holds enormous amounts of vulnerable carbon, more than twice as much carbon as is already present in the atmosphere. Some of that carbon is now on the move.

If scientists can figure out how to genetically engineer it, this single-celled organism’s natural quirks could become ...

All donations DOUBLED! Cyanobacteria like Chonkus, sometimes referred to by the misnomer blue-green algae, are aquatic organisms that, suck up light and carbon dioxide and turn it into food ...

The continuing release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere is a major driver of global warming and climate change with increased extreme weather events. Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg ...

The white dots are thought to store carbon. Credit: Wyss Institute at Harvard University Researchers have discovered a special strain of marine cyanobacteria that consume and store carbon dioxide ...
