(Nanowerk News) When speaking of motors, most people think of those powering vehicles and human machinery. However, biological motors have existed for millions of years in microorganisms. Among these, ...

Escherichia coli bacteria imaged by high-speed inline force mapping and fluorescence microscopy. Simultaneous topography and elastic modulus maps show a stiffening of the division site. Light and ...

Some antibiotics stop bacteria from growing without actually killing them, allowing infections to return later. Scientists at ...

A mechanosensitive fluorescent probe visualises and quantifies the mechanical stress on bacterial membranes upon contact with a surface. (Nanowerk News) In natural environments, bacteria rarely live ...

Professor Anna Panorska and her former master’s student David Kweku (Statistics and Data Science), along with an interdisciplinary and international team of researchers, recently authored an article ...

Drugs that act against bacteria are mainly assessed based on how well they inhibit bacterial growth under laboratory ...

Understanding the potential of this type of microscopy for the analysis of large molecules and microorganisms, researchers from the National Institutes of Natural Sciences (NINS) and Nagoya University ...

The robot is hard to see without a microscope. It’s small enough to rest on the ridge of a fingerprint and can operate in liquid for months. Inside this speck is a functioning computer, a sensor, and ...

Current optical and electron microscopy imaging techniques are not suited for measuring the dynamic characteristics of living microorganisms at tiny scales due to complex sample preparation methods or ...
