Growing Bacteria Line Up Single-File, Then Buckle in Liquid Crystals
When scientists study bacteria that are not in a petri dish or a test tube but in environments that more closely mimic their actual microbial home settings, they often find delightfully unexpected behaviors. For Sujit Datta , a professor of chemical engineering, bioengineering, and biophysics at Caltech, those oddities are an invitation to apply physics to exciting new puzzles. The results reveal…
