Scientists just invented microscopic knives capable of stabbing and killing bacteria on contact. The germ theory of disease emerged over the last several centuries to explain the way microscopic ...

Some of the ocean's tiniest organisms get swept into underwater currents that act as a conduit that shuttles them from the sunny surface to deeper, darker depths where they play a huge role in ...

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — The warming of the waters off the East Coast has come at an invisible, but very steep cost — the loss of microscopic organisms that make up the base of the ocean’s food chain.

Although these microscopic organisms are among the ocean’s smallest, their “blooms” are often visible from space. Phytoplankton are critical to making the planet livable and contribute to the global ...
