A new part of an ocean plant cell has been discovered that might revolutionize farming one day. The structure can take nitrogen and convert it into the ingredient that helps all organisms grow.

Some 140 million years ago, a free-living bacteria that could grab all the nitrogen it wanted out of the water it was swimming in, fused with an ancient algal cell, says Tyler Coale, a biologist ...
