Damaged but not defeated: Bacteria use nano-spearguns to retaliate against attacks

Damaged but not defeated: Bacteria use nano-spearguns to retaliate against attacks

Some bacteria deploy tiny spearguns to retaliate against rival attacks. Researchers at the University of Basel have mimicked attacks by poking bacteria with an ultra-sharp tip. Using this approach, they have uncovered that bacteria assemble their nanoweapons in response to cell envelope damage and rapidly strike back with high precision. Some bacteria deploy tiny spearguns to…

Artificial photosynthesis research represents a step forward towards green hydrogen

Artificial photosynthesis research represents a step forward towards green hydrogen

How can we produce clean hydrogen without burning fossil hydrocarbons or other non-renewable energy sources? We can do so through photoelectrochemistry, or artificial photosynthesis, a method that—just like photosynthesis—uses sunlight and water, as with electrolysis, to obtain hydrogen, without generating harmful emissions. A group of researchers from the Department of Physics of the University of…
