Researchers have discovered how bacteria break through spaces barely larger than themselves, by wrapping their flagella ...

Researchers at the University of Basel have developed a microscopic testing approach that measures whether antibiotics truly ...

Bacteria are present inside the most common type of kidney stone, revealing a previously unrecognized component involved in their formation.

Some antibiotics stop bacteria from growing without actually killing them, allowing infections to return later. Scientists at the University of Basel created a new test that tracks individual bacteria ...

A team has constructed an improved mid-infrared microscope, enabling them to see the structures inside living bacteria at the nanometer scale. Mid-infrared microscopy is typically limited by its low ...

Watch the powerful effect of bleach on bacteria under the microscope.

A bacterial cell settles onto a nondescript surface. It is plump, healthy and functioning as it should. Nothing appears amiss ...

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 ...

Watch how mouthwash affects bacteria under the microscope.

This illustration represents a bacteria being illuminated with mid-infrared in the top left, while visible light from a microscope underneath is used to help capture the image. A team at the ...
