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. Subscribe to our newsletter ...

As bacteria continue to become more resistant to antibiotics, it will be harder to treat bacterial infections, leading to more severe illnesses, longer hospital stays, and higher mortality rates. As ...

What physical processes govern the movement of microscopic structures capable of interacting with their environment? The ...

Traditionally, identifying a bacterium requires peering through a microscope. Researchers from TU Delft want to trade your ...

Climate change is transforming the Earth’s natural systems at an unprecedented pace, influencing temperature patterns, rainfall distribution, and the ...

Bacteria are constantly moving by help of motility organs called flagella or pili to colonize new niches. Also, bacteria can exchange information, like “speaking to each other”, and thus acquire new ...

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 ...
