Engineers have made bacteria to produce hyperspectral signals that can be detected as far as 90 meters away. Their work could lead to the development of bacterial sensors for agricultural and other ...

Researchers suggest the bacteria could be designed to detect pollution or nutrients, acting as sensors to help farmers ...

MIT scientists have found a clever new way to make bacteria send out signals that can be seen from far away—up to 90 meters.

“We wanted to exploit this phenomenon to see if we could shape the concentration of bacteria using light.” In order to achieve this, the team projected varying levels of light through a microscope ...

Researchers engineered bacteria to produce spectral pigments in response to environmental triggers. Using hyperspectral ...

Light microscopy makes it difficult to resolve ... and Takayuki Uchihashi—chose the common bacteria Escherichia coli to study first in such unprecedented detail. The researchers published ...

The Dutch haberdasher had crafted some of the first microscopes, never expecting to spy bacteria, sperm cells ... that boost the magnifying power of light microscopes up to about 1,500 times.

Tiny magnetic bacteria that live in tightly bound groups are showing scientists how life might have evolved complex, multicellular forms. These rare bacteria can’t survive alone – they depend on one ...

Deep in the ocean, sea sponges grow beautiful, glass-like skeletons that are both strong and light. These structures are made ...

It was found that by using glass lenses, you could bend rays of light ... and bacteria. Dr. Chris Lawrence explains Read his words Transcription of the audio "Loewenhoek used the microscope ...

There's three types of microscope: light, like this one here, and two types of electron microscopes, like those ones over there. Light microscopes use light and mirrors and can see things as small ...
