Scientists just invented microscopic knives capable of stabbing and killing bacteria on contact. The germ theory of disease emerged over the last several centuries to explain the way microscopic ...

Researchers have discovered how bacteria break through spaces barely larger than themselves, by wrapping their flagella around their bodies and moving forward. Using a microfluidic device that mimics ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Bacterial eye infections blind millions globally each year, and current antibiotics increasingly fail to stop them. When bacteria develop resistance to drugs, they can withstand ...

Hospitals and public spaces are locked in a quiet arms race with microbes that cling to surfaces, shrug off disinfectants, and evolve around our best drugs. Now researchers are turning to a Nobel ...

How can bacteria squeeze through spaces narrower than a human hair is thick? A research team in Japan led by Dr. Daisuke Nakane and Dr. Tetsuo Kan at the University of Electro-Communications, Dr.
