This fundamental study combines in vitro reconstitution experiments and molecular dynamics simulations to elucidate how membrane lipids are transported from the outer to the inner membrane of ...

The vast, sunlit waters of the ocean’s surface, known as the photic zone, nurture 90% of marine life. Sunlight and moonlight ...

Marine life plays a significant part in this process, as organisms transfer carbon from the ocean surface to the deep sea upon death or as they migrate. Our new research, published in Nature ...

Trees get most of the love, but diatoms, a group of photosynthetic microalgae, produce 20% of Earth's oxygen and are the ...

We study ocean habitats and strategies for conserving ocean life. In analyzing marine protected areas, we’ve concluded that simply designating protected zones is not enough. To be effective ...

Europa, a moon of Jupiter, has long been one of the most exciting targets in the search for life beyond Earth. Many scientists believe that an ocean lies below its icy surface, potentially hosting ...

A vast bloom of toxic algae is killing more than 200 species of marine life off the southern coast of Australia, scientists and conservation groups say. The algae—Karenia mikimotoi—appeared in ...

The L.A. County Board of Supervisors unanimously passed a motion Tuesday to help address a growing crisis of toxic algae sickening and killing sea life. Over the last three months, hundreds of ...

The housing life cycle is just that: a cycle. When one part stalls, the whole system suffers. But if we repair the links — by removing regulatory barriers, encouraging thoughtful development and ...

In the passageway leading into the main exhibition, two photo-based exhibits frame the human and ecological dimensions of ocean life. Faces of the Ocean, presented by the French Development ...
