Microorganism dispersion: one law to rule them all
The dispersion of bacteria moving through porous environments follows an astonishingly simple and universal law. The Earth is populated by swimming microorganisms, such as bacteria, which are ...
"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 ...

Bacteria Use One Simple Strategy to Navigate Complex Worlds
Just like every other creature, bacteria have evolved creative ways of getting around. Sometimes this is easy, like swimming in open water, but navigating more confined spaces poses different ...
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 ...
