We study a synthetic system of motile Escherichia coli bacteria encapsulated inside giant lipid vesicles. Forces exerted by the bacteria on the inner side of the membrane are sufficient to extrude ...
A hydrogel made from crustacean shells lets common food bacteria generate electrical signals 15 times more efficiently, opening the door to reusable living sensors for food safety.
The Duchossois Family Institute (DFI) at the University of Chicago can manufacture clinical-grade encapsulated bacteria – catalyzing opportunities to better understand the microbiome and its myriad of ...
Researchers have developed and validated a heat transfer model that accurately predicts the survival of encapsulated bacteria in self-healing concrete exposed to high temperatures during fires.
