A mechanosensitive fluorescent probe visualises and quantifies the mechanical stress on bacterial membranes upon contact with a surface. (Nanowerk News) In natural environments, bacteria rarely live ...

Microscopic organisms such as bacteria and fungi live together in neighborhoods known as microbial consortia. Some of these neighborhoods naturally exist in soils, food, water, and even the human gut ...

Fluorescent nanomaterials smaller than 10 nm can disrupt drug-resistant bacteria through multiple mechanisms while enabling real-time imaging, offering a new direction in antimicrobial strategy ...

Biologists are very interested in how proteins, lipids and other compounds are organized and interact in systems. Very few organizational details can be gained by using standard transmission-based ...

Fluorescent imaging results from SAS-based fluorescence-guided surgery in animal models. Tumor and surrounding skin tissue were separated after imaging with the IVIS Macroscope to analyze the tumor-to ...

Engineered microbes produce bioluminescence in the presence of microplastics, creating a living sensor seen here as a detectable green fluorescence signal, which is laid over a scanning electron ...
