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

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 ...

Scientists at Institute of Science and Technology Austria have demonstrated that Escherichia coli can spin microscopic discs ...

Researchers recently uncovered a new way for bacteria to generate motion, revealing how microscopically small life forms can act like tiny engines ...

In a groundbreaking study that bridges physics and biology, researchers have uncovered the intricate collective behavior of bacterial species drawn from a unique natural environment in northern Mexico ...

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.

The chaotic movements of bacteria could be tamed to create electricity, powering miniature future gadgets, such as medical devices or other nanoscale machines. A newly published paper from researchers ...

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 ...

Bacteria can effectively travel even without their propeller-like flagella — by “swashing” across moist surfaces using chemical currents, or by gliding along a built-in molecular conveyor belt. New ...

The “kinky” motion of a primitive spiral-shaped bacterium swimming could help design efficient micromachines, suggests a new modelling study. The motion of Spiroplasma swimming through fluid by ...

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 ...
