My search for answers to these stupendously ambitious questions led me, it now seems inexorably, to mitochondria. This idea of mitochondria being little batteries with a built-in charger, about as ...

In all the scenarios Dietrich tested, the resulting biofilm looked nothing like the single cells or small colony from which it arose. But when he zoomed in with his scanning electron microscope, he ...

coli) and Gram-positive (MRSA) strains. Within 30 minutes of treatment under dual activation, the Y-CuSA/CN microrobots eliminated viable bacteria in both types of biofilms. Scanning electron ...

Paraburkholderia xenovorans LB400 biofilms hold the potential to degrade PCBs in ... The sol–gel product made with each recipe adjustment was visualized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) using a ...

Physicists have created the world’s fastest microscope, and it’s so quick that it can spot electrons in motion. The new device, a newer version of a transmission electron microscope ...

The cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of the biofilm-forming functional amyloid phenol-soluble modulin alpha1 (PSMα1) from Staphylococcus aureus is presented. The α-helical PSMα1 ...

The team used scanning electron microscopy and fluorescence microscopy paired with cell labeling to conduct their research. They found that P. aeruginosa cells in biofilms are packed lengthwise ...

“Without electron imaging and diffraction ... Two new research technologies — a microscope for probing bacterial biofilms and an instrument to measure the properties of ultrathin plastics — have been ...
