Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a technique originally developed to assess the physical and mechanical properties of materials at extremely high resolutions, but the imaging speeds aren't fast ...

Escherichia coli are great to demonstrate such effects because they are well studied. Despite this, the dynamic mechanical changes that occur in E. coli at the nanoscale level… remain elusive." ...

E. coli bacteria could be used to create biodegradable plastics, reports a paper published in Nature Chemical Biology. The ...

They found that a unique strain of E. coli bacteria, when paired with a diet low in carbs and soluble fiber, drives the growth of polyps in the colon, which can be a precursor to cancer.
