To see how microgravity changes certain microbes, researchers sent bacteria-infecting viruses called bacteriophages to the ...

Bacteria and viruses are often lumped together as germs, and they share many characteristics. They’re invisible to the human eye. They’re everywhere. And both can make us sick. Bacteria and viruses ...

Understanding the differences between bacteria and viruses is crucial for recognizing how these microorganisms impact our ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new potential way to edit the genomes of bacteria in complex environments, by equipping viruses to hunt them down and insert the CRISPR gene-editing system. In nature, ...

We’re all told that to live longer, we must exercise regularly, eat a healthy diet, get enough sleep, maintain an optimal weight, not smoke, and manage stress. But why do some people naturally make it ...
