Similar to the fable of the tortoise and the hare, scientists found that bacteria engineered to individually move faster actually lose the race against slower strains when traveling in densely packed ...

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 ...

EPFL researchers have published a method for 3D-printing an ink that contains calcium carbonate-producing bacteria. The 3D-printed mineralized bio-composite is unprecedently strong, light, and ...

“Many bacteria are not naked, but rather well-packaged – with a protective shell made of a dense network of sugar molecules that protects them from external environmental influences such as ...
