Researchers found that cooperative fluid dynamics between single-celled organisms may have driven the evolution of ...

Single-celled organisms that group together can generate stronger water currents to pull in food, a benefit that may have ...

Under microscopes, scientists found that giant single-cell organisms were able to vacuum up more food when they are stuck together.

Ten years ago, nobody knew that Asgard archaea even existed. In 2015, however, researchers examining deep-sea sediments ...

Humans like to think that being multicellular (and bigger) is a definite advantage, even though 80% of life on Earth consists ...

In fact, there were only single-celled organisms that could move around through the waters of the oceans. Needless to say, these single-celled organisms were quite simple compared to what we see ...

But scientists have found that a more complex organism — a single-celled alga with a nucleus — can do it, too, thanks to a newly identified piece of cellular architecture. They're calling it ...

The physics of how a quirky pond organism filters the water for food provides new insights into a possible driver of early evolution.

It was only then that they realised they were dealing with a previously unknown group of archaea. Like bacteria, archaea are ...

A stentor is a trumpet-shaped, single-celled organism up to 2 mm long. It uses its holdfast to anchor to surfaces in ponds or ...

A new part of an ocean plant cell has been discovered that might revolutionize farming one day. The structure can take ...
