In the vast and often unseen world of microscopic life, a recent discovery may force scientists to rethink what it means to be alive. Nestled inside a tiny plankton cell, researchers found a ...

From sonic tomographies to global biodiversity negotiations, this journey through research, resilience, and connection reveals how small organisms, death and decay bring about new life Valerie Lenis A ...

Driven by a curiosity to understand the origin of life on Earth, Benjy Sedano-Herrera is seeking answers to life’s biggest questions through small organisms known as cyanobacteria. This group of ...

Coccolithophores, tiny planktonic architects of Earth’s climate, capture carbon, produce oxygen, and leave behind geological records that chronicle our planet’s history. European scientists are ...

Bacteria are everywhere, surviving in the most extreme environments like volcanic craters and living in oceans, in soil and even inside other organisms. These tiny organisms may be nearly invisible, ...

The ocean’s smallest engineers, calcifying plankton, quietly regulate the Earth’s thermostat by capturing and cycling carbon. However, a new review published this week in Science by an international ...
