Researchers have discovered and characterized at the atomic level a mechanism that enables bacterial pathogens—including ...

A project at the University of Tokyo has developed a mid-infrared microscopy platform offering an improved view of structures inside living bacteria. Described in Nature Photonics, the new nanoscope ...

Bacteria are traditionally imagined as single-cell organisms, spread out sparsely over surfaces or suspended in liquids, but in many environments the true bacterial mode of growth is in sticky ...

Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN) have recently demonstrated the feasibility of using estrone-linked BODIPYs sonosensitizers for antimicrobial sonodynamic therapy ...

Nobody wants harmful bacteria colonizing the surfaces of objects such as medical implants, yet we also don't want them building up a resistance to antibiotics. Well, help may be on the way, in the ...

Structural patterns can be created due to the chasing interactions between two bacterial species. In a new model, scientists describe how interactions on the individual level can result in a global ...

Researchers showed that biofilm formation can be controlled with laser light in the form of optical traps. The findings could allow scientists to harness biofilms for various bioengineering ...

Your gut bacteria are constantly sensing, moving, and sharing nutrients to keep the microbiome thriving.

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American Quick, can you describe your grandparents?

Jodhpur: In a major scientific breakthrough, researchers from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Jodhpur have discovered that a naturally occurring human protein can prevent bacteria from forming ...
