Scientists at Arizona State University have uncovered surprising new ways bacteria move, even without their usual whip-like propellers called flagella. In one study, E. coli and salmonella were found ...

New research from Arizona State University shows that bacteria can travel in unexpected ways even when their usual propulsion system fails. Normally ...

Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence, physicist and cosmologist Max Tegmark presented a vision of the futu ...

Blow up a long balloon and two things happen: it gets longer and it gets wider. Now imagine a living cell that inflates itself under enormous pressure and yet only grows longer, never adding width.

Evolution is perhaps the most extraordinary story ever told—a tale spanning billions of years that connects every living thing on Earth through an intricate ...

Scientists have engineered bacteria to produce designer proteins by smuggling artificial amino acids, enabling precise drug delivery and multifunctional applications.

The discovery of Psychrobacter SC65A.3, isolated from the Scărişoara Ice Cave in Romania, is both a blessing and a curse.

To achieve this, Mueller transplants bacteria from one plant’s roots to a new generation’s seeds. With a gift of 50 seeds from Thomas Juenger, also a professor of integrative biology at UT, Mueller ...

Flour choice shapes the bacteria in sourdough starters, even though the same yeast dominates across all types.

Indian scientists have helped overturn a 50-year-old model explaining how bacteria regulate their genes, challenging a foundational concept in molecular biology.

Most people know only two things about the appendix: You don’t need it – and if it bursts, you need surgery fast. That basic story traces back at least to Charles Darwin, the English naturalist who ...

For over a century, the appendix was considered a vestigial organ. However, recent research reveals it evolved multiple times across mammals, suggesting it provided an advantage. This pouch contains ...
