Herbal remedy plants native to Saudi Arabia are shown to have potential as treatments for cancer.

Surface wettability has little effect on atmospheric water gathering, but edge structure is crucial.

Emerging technologies are poised to transform how we observe the Earth.

Symbiotic giant bacteria enable Red Sea surgeonfish to specialize their diets.

Microbes are dispersed widely over the oceans with islands acting as stepping-stones to help transport of land-based organisms.

A combination of morphological and molecular approaches gives researchers a first glimpse of Red Sea larval fish communities.

The world’s warmest sea is heating up faster than the global average, which could challenge the ability of the Red Sea’s organisms to cope.

A method for creating nanoparticles without using solvents could lead to environmentally friendly electronics.

Promising electrochemical technologies for cleaning wastewater are boosted by discovery of extremophilic microbes in the Red Sea.

Treating wastewater with solar irradiation shows promise in reducing two E. coli strains but a resilient strain persists.

Pierre Magistretti, Distinguished Professor of Bioscience and Dean of the Biological and Environmental Science Division, talks to us on Facebook Live about how he first became interested in the brain and reflects on more than 30 years of experience in the field of brain energy metabolism.

A comparison of the genomes of two species of coral demonstrates unexpected genetic diversity.

The protein CD34 is predominantly regarded as a marker of blood-forming stem cells but it helps with migration to the bone marrow too.

The Red Sea has relatively low amounts of floating plastic debris in its surface waters due to fewer sources or faster removal.

Genomes of single microbial cells isolated from the Red Sea could yield a goldmine for biotechnology.

Jumping genes could make an alga, and its coral host, more tolerant to warming sea temperatures.

Safety assurance is the first step in bringing valuable wastewater into use, says Peiying Hong.
