For those of us who weren't paying attention, over the last few years, scientists around the world have been one-upping each other in a bid to create the smallest QR code that can be reliably read.

Researchers at EPFL and Vrije Universiteit Brussel have developed a novel and highly efficient method for rapid antibiotic susceptibility testing using optical microscopy. The technique, called ...

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 ...

A team has constructed an improved mid-infrared microscope, enabling them to see the structures inside living bacteria at the nanometer scale. Mid-infrared microscopy is typically limited by its low ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) could be used to identify drug resistant infections, significantly reducing the time taken for a correct diagnosis, Cambridge researchers have shown. The team showed that ...

Every Wednesday and Friday, TechNode’s Briefing newsletter delivers a roundup of the most important news in China tech, straight to your inbox. Sign up Huawei has obtained a smartphone ...

Current optical and electron microscopy imaging techniques are not suited for measuring the dynamic characteristics of living microorganisms at tiny scales due to complex sample preparation methods or ...

Escherichia coli bacteria imaged by high-speed inline force mapping and fluorescence microscopy. Simultaneous topography and elastic modulus maps show a stiffening of the division site. Light and ...
