These illuminated dust pockets help astronomers understand how stars interact with their surroundings, especially how dust ...

The need for new fast classification methods has become increasingly important. When a patient arrives at a medical center ...

a bacterium that preys upon other bacteria. The team thought it might be a good candidate for finding histones because the bacterium changes size throughout its lifecycle and thus would need to ...

New research reveals that bacteria form species and maintain cohesion through frequent DNA exchange within species. This ...

Scientists widely believed that bacteria, due to their unique genetic exchange mechanisms and the vast size of their global populations, did not—and could not—form distinct species.

These needle-like pillars are just the right size to be deadly to bacteria, making the surfaces strongly antibacterial. Now, the team have perfected their recipe, finding that APA surfaces ...

entities that could cause an infection and pass through a filter small enough to exclude almost all bacteria. While the size of Mimivirus certainly stretches our common perceptions of viruses ...

"These grains are only one millionth of a meter across — about the size of a single bacterium," the European Space Agency, which jointly leads JWST with NASA and the Canadian Space Agency ...
