Recently, a research group led by Prof. WANG Junfeng from the Hefei Institute of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of ...

Their study, published in Microbiological Research, reveals that bacteria can evolve by losing their flagella, the structures responsible for movement. The study was led by Prof. Wang Junfeng from ...

Good science anticipates the shortcomings of human intuition; it expects that the concepts so useful for interpreting the world around us, at the familiar human scale, may well prove unsuitable ...

Namba Protonic NanoMachine Project studied the structure and function of the bacterial flagellum as a huge molecular system based on the organization and movement of the individual atoms that build it ...

Bacteria with flagella, or spinning tails, can move up to a hundred times their body length in a second—a large fish can only move about ten times its body length in a second. The strongest ...
