Key PointsBacteria actively sense their environment and use chemical cues to navigate their world through a process called chemotaxis.Chemotaxis aids ...
Researchershave discovered that E. coli bacteria can synchronize their movements, creating order in seemingly random biological systems. By trapping individual bacteria in micro-engineered circular ...
This study contributes to the development of control theories for the collective motion of self-propelled microorganisms, particles, or microdevices. The collective motion of bacteria—from stable ...
Bacteria can effectively travel even without their propeller-like flagella — by “swashing” across moist surfaces using chemical currents, or by gliding along a built-in molecular conveyor belt. New ...
New research from Arizona State University shows that bacteria can travel in unexpected ways even when their usual propulsion ...
An audience clapping in rhythm, fireflies flashing in unison, or flocks of starlings moving as one – synchronisation is a natural phenomenon observed across diverse systems and scales. First described ...
