Just like every other creature, bacteria have evolved creative ways of getting around. Sometimes this is easy, like swimming ...

Bacteria can effectively travel even without their propeller-like flagella — by “swashing” across moist surfaces using chemical currents, or by gliding along a built-in molecular conveyor belt. New ...

In a new study published March 21 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Henry Mattingly of the Simons Foundation's Flatiron Institute presents a new computational method for predicting ...

New studies from Arizona State University reveal surprising ways bacteria can move without their flagella - the slender, whip-like propellers that usually drive them forward. Movement lets bacteria ...

"The UN estimates that by 2050, common bacterial infections could kill more people than cancer," says Arnold Mathijssen, a biophysicist at the University of Pennsylvania who studies how active ...
