Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have reimagined the capabilities of atomic force microscopy, or AFM, transforming it from a tool for imaging nanoscale features ...

Photon-driven nanorobots can steer, capture, and move bacteria with precision, enabling controlled manipulation in microscopic environments and offering new tools for microbiology.

Scientists are uncovering the surprising ways bacteria and archaea differ — and how these differences could be turned into weapons against dangerous infections. From bacteria’s peptidoglycan walls to ...

Researchers investigating the enigmatic and antibiotic-resistant Pandoraea bacteria have uncovered a surprising twist: these pathogens don't just pose risks they also produce powerful natural ...

Scientists have mapped in unprecedented detail the structure of Vibrio bacteria, which can cause life-threatening infections linked to antibiotic resistance. The King's College London team behind the ...

Escherichia coli bacteria are the workhorse of microbiology labs. These bacteria move through fluids by spinning their flagella — a clump of tails driven by a molecular motor in the cell walls.
