Escherichia coli Bacteria Spin Microscopic Pucks Without Physical Contact
Researchers have observed Escherichia coli bacteria rotating small pucks using only the motion of their cell bodies and tails. The bacteria maintain a distance from the pucks during this interaction. This finding provides new insights into bacterial locomotion and potential applications in microfluidics.
