Arpita Bose, Associate Professor at Washington University in St. Louis, discusses the potential of microbial solutions in supporting sustainable and environmentally responsible alternatives to the traditional linear economy.

By isolating a microbial enzyme and attaching it to an electrode, researchers have achieved efficient one-way conversion of CO2 into formate and, therefore, discovering a new form of CO2 capture.

What can fossil spines really tell us about ocean adaptation? Beneath the Ocean's surface, the earliest, most basic life forms on Earth emerged but how did they survive mass extinction? The deep sea is now known for its unusual marine life, but what researchers really want to know is how...

New research led by an international team of scientists explains why Arctic Sea ice loss has slowed since 2007. Their findings indicated this was linked to a weather pattern called the Arctic dipole reversal This Phenomenon, Known as 'Atlantification,' Reveals How North Atlantic Waters Impact the Arctic Ocean's Climate. Responses to...

Researchers aim to quantify carbon sequestration when looking at the California Current ecosystem, analysing the impacts of the biological pump and algal sinking.

An international team led by Penn State found that Indo-Pacific corals cope better with rising water temperatures than Atlantic corals.

Researchers have completed an advanced brain map on an insect, aiding future brain research and neuroscience in the understanding of the mechanism of thought.

In this interview, Benyamin Rosental, PhD, from the Shraga Segal Department of Microbiology, Immunology, and Genetics, looks toward hexacorallian models to transplant stem cells to corals affected by global warming.

Algae are a high-potential yet underexplored source of renewable biomass, could seaweed farming be the future for biomass production?

Only in the past decade or so have social scientists seriously studied intellectual humility as a virtue that might counter problems with this alarming social trend toward division Colonel Jessup—you may not remember the name, but some of you will know whom we are talking about. He is the fictional...

Nano-robot made from DNA can study cell processes invisible to the naked eye.

A new study has identified a link between genes in both the human brain and the octopus brain which could explain the remarkable intelligence of the invertebrates .

Research from Arpita Bose’s lab combines nature with the laboratory to innovate solutions to our global climate crisis Much of the focus on climate change mitigation lies in reducing anthropogenic emissions of carbon greenhouse gases (e.g., carbon dioxide, CO2; methane, CH4), which continue to increase. An additional consideration is the...

In an optimistic 22-month study of Hawaiian coral, researchers find they may adapt well to warmer and more acidic oceans resulting from climate change.

Eric Conners, Arpita Bose and Prem Prabhakar at the Department of Biology, Washington University, discuss microbial electrosynthesis - a way of creating commercially significant bio-commodities.

Scientists find that seagrasses continue to produce methane even decades after the plants die – highlighting the potential for more methane emissions if seagrasses are threatened.

The Paris Agreement limited global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, which still has devastating impacts for coral reefs – remaining on track for coral degeneration.

Scientists say the stationary sea anemone, Nematostella, has been decreasing in numbers - as it becomes severely impacted by pollution.

Arpita Bose, PhD, Associate Professor at Washington University illustrates how microbes may prove essential for developing sustainable technologies as we strive for greener economies.

Frederique Lisacek from SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, discusses the experimental approaches towards Glycoscience and emphasises the need for collecting and integrating glyco-related information.
