Dense E.coli bacteria have several similar qualities to colloidal glass. Colloids are substances made up of small particles suspended within a fluid, like ink for example. When these particles become ...

Experiments and modeling reveal the unexpected structure that can be seen in bacteria grown in mucus samples and biofilms. Scientists at Caltech and Princeton University have discovered that bacterial ...

When we think of bacteria, we think of simple single-celled organisms that basically exist to consume resources and reproduce. They don’t think, feel, or remember… or do they? Bacteria don’t have ...

In hopes of producing concrete structures that can repair their cracks, researchers from Drexel University’s College of Engineering are putting a new twist on an old trick for improving the durability ...

This video shows the E.coli transitioning into a glassy state as their density increases and they can no longer move. Dense E.coli bacteria have several similar qualities to colloidal glass, according ...

Dense E. coli bacteria have several similar qualities to colloidal glass, according to new research at the University of Tokyo. Colloids are substances made up of small particles suspended within a ...
