This collaboration, between a bacterial biochemist and a condensed-matter physicist, use light to control the movement and arrangement of cyanobacteria, forming two- and three-dimensional nematic ...

Researchers from the University of Liverpool have used mathematical equations to shed new light on how flowing fluid hinders the movement of bacteria in their search for food. Many bacteria are mobile ...

Researchershave discovered that E. coli bacteria can synchronize their movements, creating order in seemingly random biological systems. By trapping individual bacteria in micro-engineered circular ...

New studies from Arizona State University reveal surprising ways bacteria can move without their flagella - the slender, whip-like propellers that usually drive them forward. Movement lets bacteria ...

The spiral-shaped bacteria Helicobacter pylori are common and troublesome. More than 13 percent of Americans have an H. pylori infection, although rates vary with age, race and socioeconomic status.

An illustration of the 3D printed model of spiral-shaped bacteria made by researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. Using particle tracking and imaging techniques, the researchers measured ...

Researchers at the University of Washington have learned that something most people take for granted is not true: that the force of fluids within the human body helps to break the adhesive bonds of ...

The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign research team, led by biochemistry professor Joe Sanfilippo, tested antibiotic ...

New studies from Arizona State University reveal surprising ways bacteria can move without their flagella — the slender, whip-like propellers that usually drive them forward. Movement lets bacteria ...

An audience clapping in rhythm, fireflies flashing in unison, or flocks of starlings moving as one – synchronisation is a natural phenomenon observed across diverse systems and scales. First described ...

Illinois researchers combined microbiology with microfluidic device technology to find that when antibiotics are delivered by flowing fluids, as would be the case in the body, they are more effective ...
