Using light as an energy source, photosynthetic microalgae can be used to produce products like biofuels and cosmetics. But algae grown in a reactor block out the light on which they feed. New reactor ...

Microscopic algae may be small, but they hold great potential. Commonly known as microalgae, they have recently been attracting significant attention thanks to their promising applications across a ...

Schematic of a typical bioreactor. Key components include the reactor tank, agitation system, feeding pump, thermal jacket, submerged aerator, and sensor probes for monitoring and maintaining optimal ...

Microalgae are moving from petri dishes to building facades, promising to cool overheated cities while attacking carbon pollution at a pace trees cannot match. A new generation of “living walls” uses ...
