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 ...

This artistic rendering depicts an atomic force microscopy tip scanning a structured network of bacterial cells with flagella in a honeycomb pattern. High-resolution surface characterization spans a ...

“Microplastics are like rafts — a bacteria on its own might not be able to swim down a river, but riding in its biofilm on a tiny bit of plastic it can be disseminated into many different environments ...

Bacteria, those tiny, often-misunderstood microorganisms, have just gave up a groundbreaking secret that could transform our approach to combating infections. Bacteria are notorious for banding ...

A recent study published in npj | Biofilms and Microbiomes explored biofilm maturation and dispersal dynamics in Bacillus ...

Tiny magnetic bots that are activated by light can clear bacterial infections deep in the sinus cavities, then be expelled by blowing out the nose. Sinusitis is a common respiratory condition often ...
