These single-celled organisms naturally respond to the Earth’s weak magnetic field. Scientists are untangling how it all works, looking to future biomedical and other engineering applications.
Antibiotic resistance is a major and growing global health threat. These five recent examples show us how dangerous it can be.
Mathematical models can describe the many shapes of DNA, as well as cellular processes like DNA replication.
There are countless nanoscopic architectures in nature, creating iridescence, sticky feet, magnetic navigation – and more.
The average office desk is said to contain 400 times more germs than a toilet seat.
The discovery of molecular rules that regulate the transfer of genetic material between bacteria could help prevent the spread of antibiotic resistance.
There may be additional long-term health harms from antibiotic exposure in early life and before birth, including an increased risk of infection, obesity and asthma.
Probiotics have been proclaimed by many as the answer to all sorts of health issues and conditions. But what exactly are probiotics? And, more importantly, should you be taking them?
Handshakes may be polite, but they’re also a sure fire way to transfer lots of bacteria from one hand to another.
Following NASA’s latest discovery of organic matter on the red planet, new findings in a salt lake in California could point to where to look for alien life.
Consuming yoghurt is associated with many health benefits. But with all the varieties of yoghurt, and added ingredients like fruits and probiotics, it can be hard to know which is best for your health.
No mother wants their baby to develop jaundice, but it turns out that they should probably be grateful.
