Researchers have coaxed photosynthetic bacteria to ingest carbon nanotubes by wrapping the nanotubes in proteins (Nat. Nanotechnol. 2022, DOI: 10.1038/s41565-022-01198-x). This finding could lead to a ...

Many different types of bacteria and viruses can cause pneumonia, but there is no easy way to determine which microbe is causing a particular patient's illness. This uncertainty makes it harder for ...

Biological sensors are crucial to survival. Like eyes and ears, they help us process the world and protect us from danger. On a smaller scale, biological sensors such as nerves send signals to the ...
