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.

The Biological & Environmental Science & Engineering Division is very pleased to announce the appointment of yet another exemplary faculty - Prof. Christian Froekjaer Jensen.

The Biological & Environmental Science & Engineering Division is very pleased to announce the appointment of Prof. Simon Krattinger.

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.

Understanding how bacteria help convert glacier bedrock into soil could help address desertification.

Corals living in highly saline waters may be more tolerant to rising water temperatures.

Seagrass meadows play a pivotal role in protecting coasts against rising sea levels.

The availability of high-resolution data collected by miniaturized satellites heralds a turning point in Earth and environmental sensing from space.

A grimy layer on wastewater filters could slow the spread of antibiotic resistance.

Turbulence and nutrient availability drive changes in Red Sea microbes.

A new malaria metabolic model may uncover better ways to treat a highly deadly disease.

Big data shows that large marine vertebrates move differently, but consistently, through coastal and ocean waters.
