Black, red, and green are the colors of Kwanzaa, the weeklong celebration (December 26 to January 1) in the United States honoring African heritage and tradition. Kwanzaa (derived from the Swahili phrase matunda ya kwanza, meaning &#8216;first fruits of the harvest&#8217;) includes activities like candle-lighting, libations, story-telling, a feast, and gift giving.

Right on the heels of our story on algae-based batteries, is this latest gem in algae-related research: the first ever algae-powered car will do a cross-country trek from San Francisco to Washington, D.C.

“Powering our cars with algae-based fuel could be the next Apollo mission,” says Rebecca Harrell, co-founder of the Veggie [...]

The algae, Cladophora, has long been considered a nuisance in many communities, notably along the Great Lakes coastlines, where large amounts of rotting algae have been fouling the shorelines. Recent developments in alternative energy research, however, may change people&#8217;s perception of this organism.

It appears that scientists from the University of Uppsala, Sweden&#8217;s premier learning establishment, [...]
