Scientists have uncovered a new explanation for how swimming bacteria change direction, providing fresh insight into one of biology’s most intensively studied molecular machines. Bacteria move through ...

A single-crystal Au(111) sample was cleaned by repeated cycles of neon ion sputtering and annealing to 700 K. The molecular motors were deposited on a cleaned Au(111) sample (held at ∼120 K) by ...

Nagoya University scientists in Japan and colleagues at Yale University in the US have uncovered details of how the bacterial propeller, known as the flagellum, switches between counterclockwise and ...

A new study challenges a decades-old explanation for how bacteria change direction, revealing that the process may be driven ...
