Space travel is not for the weak. Astronauts endure motion sickness, disorientation, cardiovascular stress—and that’s before they even reach orbit. Luckily, the bacteria that lives inside us is far ...

Research has revealed how bacteria rely on circadian clocks to control the spread of their multicellular colonies. The ...

A study in the US trialling genetically modified gut bacteria in humans has had a potential escapee, after the microbe mutated. The team of researchers at Stanford University undertook early clinical ...

As humans continue to explore the frontiers of space, the question of what kinds of life forms from Earth can survive the ...

A rare compound from soil bacteria could help address antibiotic resistance by targeting a completely new bacterial site.

Bacteria that cause intestinal infections typically avoid a stinky chemical - one that can kill them at high enough concentrations - inside human intestines, but they may actually swim toward it when ...
