MOFFETT FIELD, Calif. – As a clean energy alternative, NASA invented an algae photo-bioreactor that grows algae in municipal wastewater to produce biofuel and a variety of other products. The NASA ...

To help mitigate climate change, companies are using bioreactors to grow algae and other microorganisms that are hundreds of times more efficient at absorbing CO 2 than trees. Meanwhile, in the ...

Airports are testing algae-filled bioreactors as a biological alternative to conventional air filtration, targeting the headaches, fatigue, and respiratory irritation collectively known as sick ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Apple debuts $599 MacBook Neo: These are the top 5 things to know about the low-cost laptop ...

Bubbling away in this Aussie brewery is a new formula for making beer that's friendlier to the planet. Two bioreactors are filled with micro-algae - a sort of plankton. The algae helps co-founders of ...

A blob of algae scooped from a fountain on South Street almost two years ago, has seeded a crop of the green stuff that Drexel University researchers claim is more effective at treating wastewater ...

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 ...

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 ...

Because microalgae grow in light and lose biomass in the dark, traditional fed-batch bioreactor strategies are sub-optimal, limiting algae’s value to biopharmaceutical manufacturers. Now researchers ...

DAVAO CITY—A university professor grew a new kind of algae in wastewater to see how it thrives and turns true to form and expectation to remove microplastics—the less than 5 mm of plastics that escape ...

COLUMBIA, Mo. -- A University of Missouri researcher is pioneering an innovative solution to remove tiny bits of plastic pollution from our water. Mizzou’s Susie Dai recently applied a revolutionary ...

To test their setup, researchers allowed algae cells to stick to the surface of the photobioreactor. When they applied a voltage, the bubbles separated the cells from the surfaces without harming them ...
