Girolline, a compound extracted from the sea sponge Pseudaxinyssa cantharella, has been investigated for possible antitumor effects and also found to have anti-malarial effects. Now, researchers have ...

The sea sponge is called Theonella conica, and like all other sponges, it filters the seawater around them to absorb the ...

Bio-inspired vortex-anchored filter captures more than 97% of floating, underwater and emulsified oils, even under strong turbulent flow ...

The findings are stark: the record revealed that the Earth has already surpassed the internationally agreed-upon limit of ...

By applying the remarkable properties of sea sponges, the researchers unlock new possibilities for creating sustainable and efficient materials that mimic the natural world. "This research is the ...

You can pick up a synthetic sponge for just a few dollars. But a natural sea sponge, hand-harvested from the Mediterranean seafloor, could set you back $30. Harvesting these sponges is dangerous ...

A sponge population can pump something like 1,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools worth of water in just one day. 'They also recycle a lot of organic material, so they're really important for the carbon ...

sponge waterfronts, places where water from rising seas is allowed space to flow in and out of areas instead of crashing over sea walls. And falling rain — stormwater — is captured and soaked ...
