3D model shows bacterial motor in action

Scientists have uncovered details of how the bacterial propeller, known as the flagellum, switches between counterclockwise and clockwise rotation, allowing it to control its movement. The findings include a model that shows structural changes happening within portions of the flagellar motor.

Infection diagnostics 3.0: Faster thanks to nanopore sequencing

To ensure that sepsis patients receive appropriate antibiotics as quickly as possible, researchers have developed a diagnostic procedure that uses high-throughput sequencing of blood samples and delivers results much faster than conventional culture-based techniques. Thanks to the latest single-molecule sequencing techniques, this process has now been further improved so that pathogens can be identified after just a few hours.

Hollow porphyrinic nanospheres

Making such purely organic, atomically precise hollow molecular spheres or cages is synthetically challenging. Now, researchers have successfully developed a template-free, one-pot synthesis of a porphyrin-based gigantic organic cages composed of multi-porphyrin units.
