McGill researchers have developed a diagnostic system capable of identifying bacteria—and determining which antibiotics can stop them—in just 36 minutes, a major advance in the global effort to curb antimicrobial resistance ...
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 insect gut channels, ...
Much like humans, microbial organisms can be fickle in their productivity. One moment they're cranking out useful chemicals in vast fermentation tanks, metabolizing feed to make products from pharmaceuticals and supplements ...
Just like every other creature, bacteria have evolved creative ways of getting around. Sometimes this is easy, like swimming in open water, but navigating more confined spaces poses different challenges.
A new technique which slashes the time taken to diagnose microbial infections from days to minutes could help save lives and open up a new front in the battle against antibiotic resistance, researchers say.
A research group has developed a novel and highly accessible technology for producing uniform biomolecular condensates using a simple, low-cost vibration platform.
PFAS are forever chemicals that do not degrade in the environment. They enter soil and water, accumulate in plants, animals and humans, and can be harmful to health. The problem: Until now, detecting them has been complicated, ...
Scientists used a 3D-printing approach to pattern hydrophobic barriers inside hydrophilic filter paper. These barriers, designed in different geometries, guide liquids along precise paths and shape their flow behavior, demonstrating ...
Materials Science and Engineering Department professor and UConn IMS resident faculty member, Xueju "Sophie" Wang's group has unveiled a simple but powerful way to control liquids: magnetically reconfigurable, multistable ...
Researchers in the Blavatnik Institute at Harvard Medical School have opened a new window into understanding the development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria.
