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 — ...

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

Amid climate uncertainty, curators at the Bigelow National Center for Marine Algae and Microbiota are hopeful that if there’s ...

Would the tiny swimmer still be able to find its way through tight spaces and – if that wasn’t challenging enough – pull through a viscous liquid with a density similar to mucus? The scientists found ...
