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 ...

In what they labeled a "surprising" finding, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers studying bacteria from freshwater lakes and soil say they have determined a protein's essential role in maintaining the ...

Lucy Shapiro received this year’s Lasker Special Achievement Award for her discovery of how bacteria use genetic circuits to encode three-dimensional cellular life. “I was quite shocked, truly,” said ...

Scientists use a multimodal approach that combines hard X-ray computed tomography and X-ray fluorescence imaging to see the structure and chemical processes inside of a single cell. Every plant, ...

Micro decisions can have macro consequences. A soft matter physicist reveals how interactions within simple cellular collectives can lead to emergent physical traits. Biofilms lead lives of liminality ...

Duke researchers may have come up with a way to disarm them, and thus help prevent $220 billion in annual crop damage DURHAM, N.C. -- Many of the bacteria that ravage crops and threaten our food ...
