We put Seventh Generation to the test against bacteria under the microscope! See the real results up close as we observe how natural cleaning products interact with microbes in this fascinating ...

Researchers found bacterial cells so large they are easily visible to the naked eye, challenging ideas about how large microbes can get. By Carl Zimmer In a Caribbean mangrove forest, scientists have ...

Inflammation of the middle ear is often triggered a cholesteatoma, an aggressive form of chronic otitis media. In order to detect cholesteatomas and bacterial biofilms and to remove them safely, the ...

That is one big bacterium! Researchers have discovered a bacterium visible to the naked eye, challenging prevailing notions about the size of bacteria, most of which only can be seen when using a ...

Traditionally, identifying a bacterium requires peering through a microscope. Researchers from TU Delft want to trade your ...

Some bacteria carry tiny syringes filled with chemicals that may thin out competitors or incapacitate predators. Now, researchers have gotten up-close views of these syringes, technically known as ...

Scientists have created a microscopic QR code so tiny it can only be seen with an electron microscope—smaller than most bacteria and now officially a world record. But this isn’t just about size; it’s ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) could be used to identify drug resistant infections, significantly reducing the time taken for a correct diagnosis, Cambridge researchers have shown. The team showed that ...
