Deep-Sea Corals Get Friendly To Build Reefs
Imagine a coral reef and you probably picture colourful creatures living amongst rocky, plant-like structures in warm, shallow water. Not all corals are found in tropical environments, however.
Cold-water corals inhabit the ocean’s Continue reading Deep-Sea Corals Get Friendly To Build Reefs

Solar fuels as generated by nature
For over three billion years, nature has been using sunlight as its primary energy source in photosynthesis. In the course of this process, plants, algae and cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) use sunlight to split water and produce energy-rich chemical compounds from carbon dioxide (CO2). The end product is carbohydrates which, in nature, act as solar fuels in the living cell… Continue reading Solar fuels as generated by nature
