President Donald Trump’s sudden change to tariff policy on April 9 won’t affect the rates that currently apply to Canadian and Mexican products, according to a White House official. Canada and ...

Ben-Yehuda. "What we found is that in liquid, it's the rotation of the flagella that acts as a mechanical signal to kickstart this process." The study focused on pLS20, a widely distributed ...

So confident was the ministry about the safety of the city’s water supply it said there was no need for a public advisory encouraging the boiling of water. According to the ministry, the water ...

The researchers discovered that as sperm swim, their flagellum (tail) generates a whipping motion that creates fluid vortices around them. These swirling fluid patterns form a corkscrew-like structure ...

New 3D imaging reveals how sperm create spiral fluid structures that enhance propulsion, unlocking secrets of motion in microscopic swimmers.

The study shows that in liquid environments, where bacteria rely on movement to navigate, the rotation of flagella acts as a mechanical signal that turns on a set of genes required for DNA transfer.

An underwater robot can delicately propel itself in any direction with its 12 flexible arms, inspired by the flagella of bacteria. Its creators claim it can carry out underwater inspections ...

The research team discovered that the rotation of flagella in Bacillus subtilis acts as a mechanical signal that activates key conjugation genes. This enables donor bacteria to form clusters with ...
