Millions of people worldwide are affected by African sleeping sickness, Chagas disease and other life-threatening infections caused by microscopic parasites borne by insects such as the tsetse fly.

A research team has applied leading-edge atomic imaging and AI-driven modeling to create the most detailed 3D map yet of the ...

Magnetized algae micro swimmers retain speed and maneuverability, showing promise for targeted drug delivery in confined ...

The Max Planck Institute team created a magnetic-coated microalgal swimmer, demonstrating effective navigation in viscous ...

Professor On Shun Pak and his team of student researchers use microrobots to model the swimming motion of bacteria in the ...

Scientists have developed a single-cell green microalgae coated with magnetic material. This miniature robot was put to the test: would the microalgae with its magnetic coating be able to swim through ...

The scientists discovered that adding a magnetic coating to green algae micro-swimmers had minimal impact on their swimming ability. The algae — using a breast-stroke motion with their flagella — ...

We often forget how wonderful it is that life exists, and what a special and unique phenomenon it is. As far as we know, ours ...

Tape it with paper and let it dry. From paper napkins twisted flagella. Glued around the whole form. let it dry. Cut into two parts. I glued the legs and the handle, which I also made of napkins.

Many single cells rely on beating cilia and flagella to move. Now it is shown that the core of these appendages twists to generate the torsion waves responsible for three-dimensional motion.
