Warming waters are pushing the dreaded flesh-eating bacteria up the Atlantic coast. Experts explain who's at risk and how ...

Just like every other creature, bacteria have evolved creative ways of getting around. Sometimes this is easy, like swimming in open water, but navigating more confined spaces poses different ...

A team of researchers from MIT and Cambridge University has discovered that when bacteria are made to flow through a lattice, they synchronize and swim in patterns just like electrons orbiting atoms.

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 ...

Photon-driven nanorobots can steer, capture, and move bacteria with precision, enabling controlled manipulation in ...

(Nanowerk News) In ancient Greece, over 3000 years ago, wise men used silver salts to prevent wounds from becoming infected. These salts continued to be used until Alexander Fleming discovered the ...

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 ...

In the classic “run-and-tumble” movement pattern, bacteria swim forward (“run”) in one direction and then stop to rotate and reorient themselves in a new direction (“tumble”). During experiments where ...
