Shendruk said. In previous work, scientists built tiny microscopic gears shaped with teeth faced one way, which they submersed in an active fluid. The shape of the teeth meant that bacteria could only ...

Each species has its own rhythm, its own average speed and turning frequency,” said Stevens. “And the greater the difference ...

Cupriavidus metallidurans is a rare bacterium that can turn toxic gold compounds into tiny particles of pure gold. Discover ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have reimagined the capabilities of atomic force ...

This artistic rendering depicts an atomic force microscopy tip scanning a structured network of bacterial cells with flagella ...

The discovery of 26 previously unknown bacterial species has raised questions about microbial resilience and the potential of microbes that can survive space's conditions.

Intelligent microscopes for detecting rare biological events Date: September 11, 2022 Source: Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne Summary: Biophysicists have developed control software that ...

Researchers discovered that E.coli does not slow down when presented with obstacles. In an experiment, instead of swimming and tumbling, the bacteria changes its behavior to get to its target rapidly.

It is a longstanding challenge to be able to control biological systems to perform specific tasks. Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen have, in collaboration with ...
