WOODS HOLE, Massachusetts, June 27 -- The Marine Biological Laboratory issued the following news:
Corals are "part animal, part plant, and part rock - and difficult to figure out, despite being studied for centuries," says Philippe Laissue of University of Essex, a Whitman Scientist at the Marine Biological Laboratory. Many corals are sensitive to bright light, so capturing their dynamics with traditional microscopes is a challenge.
