One of the most intricate structures found in bacterial cells are magnetosomes of magnetotactic bacteria. These membrane-bound organelles contain tens-of-nanometre-sized crystals of a magnetic iron ...

The performances of functional biomaterials are defined from nano to micro scale by their chemical composition, structural morphology, penetrability, crystallinity and hierarchical structural design 1 ...

Illustration of how the razor-sharp flakes of graphene line up together on a surface and can kill bacteria without harming healthy human cells. The bactericidal graphene surfaces developed at Chalmers ...

Using an innovative combination of biochemical experiments and ultra-high-resolution microscopy, a research team at Kiel University has solved the long-standing mystery of how the bacterium B.
