Bacteriophages, or phages, viruses that selectively target and infect bacteria, have drawn growing attention for their ...

Engineers have made bacteria to produce hyperspectral signals that can be detected as far as 90 meters away. Their work could lead to the development of bacterial sensors for agricultural and other ...

Researchers suggest the bacteria could be designed to detect pollution or nutrients, acting as sensors to help farmers ...

Micro decisions can have macro consequences. A soft matter physicist reveals how interactions within simple cellular ...

Understanding how bacteria form communities on surfaces, including biofilms, has significant implications for both health and ...

MIT scientists have found a clever new way to make bacteria send out signals that can be seen from far away—up to 90 meters.

Researchers are determining how mechanosensor proteins in bacteria function to identify suitable conditions for establishing ...
