Magnetized algae micro swimmers retain speed and maneuverability, showing promise for targeted drug delivery in confined ...

The scientists discovered that adding a magnetic coating to green algae micro-swimmers had minimal impact on their swimming ability. The algae — using a breast-stroke motion with their flagella — ...

Scientists have developed a single-cell green microalgae coated with magnetic material. This miniature robot was put to the test: would the microalgae with its magnetic coating be able to swim through ...

Scientists used Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a single-cell green algae capable of generating photoelectrons, for the system. To overcome the barrier of cell walls that photoelectrons cannot cross ...

“Green algae serve as a mothership,” explained Zhang. “They carry hundreds to thousands of nanoparticles loaded with drug molecules.” The researchers developed microrobots by chemically attaching ...

“These algae potentially have an exceptionally flexible cell wall, which differs significantly in fine structure from those of other green algae. We demonstrated this using electron microscopy. During ...

While most car manufacturers believe that hydrogen fuel cells are the long ... bioengineered algae. Developed at the U.S. National Renewable Energy Lab, the green hydrogen generators use energy ...
