Physicists show how microscopic particles can harness fluctuations and external forces to minimize transport energy and even extract usable work. A particle (red sphere) is guided from left to its ...

As gardeners, we face a huge list of pests, and we need every helping hand we can get to win the battle. Applying beneficial nematodes is a very simple, organic way to combat many common garden pests.

Step inside the strange world of a superfluid, a liquid that can flow endlessly without friction, defying the common-sense rules we experience every day, where water pours, syrup sticks and coffee ...

Researchers have discovered how bacteria break through spaces barely larger than themselves, by wrapping their flagella around their bodies and moving forward. Using a microfluidic device that mimics ...

By developing approaches to shutdown specific parts of the process the team could use advanced microscopy techniques to better pin-point the single-cell behaviors responsible for triggering the ...
