Some Pseudomonas species use specialized microscopic membrane devices to fight back against competing bacteria.

Polypseudorotaxanes, in which α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) rings shuttle along a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) chain, are promising ...

Researchers found that Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria rapidly assemble their T6SS nanoweapons in response to outer membrane ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a way to investigate the surface features of some materials. It works by “feeling” or “touching” the surface with an extremely small probe. This provides a ...

Chinese researchers are working to develop molecular hard drives with high capacity The drives use organometallic molecules ...

Scientists discovered a way to block hepatitis B infection using an anticancer drug, offering hope for new treatments.

Some bacteria deploy tiny spearguns to retaliate against rival attacks. Researchers at the University of Basel have mimicked ...

Chinese researchers are exploring the potential of organic materials to develop a new type of hard drive that could ...

For the first time ever, researchers from Japan directly visualized protein translocation across membranes using high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM)—an event that had been biochemically ...

Light and electron microscopy each have their distinct limitations – with light it becomes increasingly difficult to resolve ...
