Unlike almost every other kind of microscope, atomic-force microscopes (AFMs) don’t use any kind of optical beam to image ...

It took two scientists decades to find a new nitrogen-fixing organelle. It could change the future of sustainable agriculture ...

Periodontal (gum) disease is one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide, caused by the bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis ...

The technology at the center of the growing "resolution revolution" has again shown its value to scientists at Yale by ...

Conventional microscopy is labor intensive, and, as senior NLR researcher John Yarbrough is well aware, it only provides a limited snapshot into the life cycle of bacteria. "Many microscopy studies ...

A visual comparison showing how bacteria interact with antibiotics at a microscopic level. Learn more about the science behind bacterial resistance and treatment. #Microbiology #HealthScience #Science ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) could be used to identify drug resistant infections, significantly reducing the time taken for a correct diagnosis, Cambridge researchers have shown. The team showed that ...

The fascinating world of bacteria that live as symbionts or parasites in animal hosts often remains a mystery to researchers. Kiel University (CAU) and the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (small rod-shaped bacteria) swarms toward and around a neighboring Cryptococcus neoformans (round yeast) colony. The thin fluid halo surrounding the yeast enables the bacteria ...

Researchers have found that antibiotic-resistant bacteria are fatter and shorter than their antibiotic-sensitive parental strains, and that these morphological changes correlate with changes in the ...
