Ingmar Riedel-Kruse and his team at Stanford University have created several “biotic games” using biological processes (video below). The first type of game manipulates paramecium with electricity or ...
Paramecium or paramecia are single-celled protists that are naturally found in aquatic habitats. They are typically oblong or slipper-shaped and are covered with short hairy structures called cilia.
The relationship between mating reactivity and ability of cells to attach to polystyrene Petri dishes was investigated in six species of the ciliated protozoan Paramecium. Mating reactive-dependent ...
Robotics World’s first ciliary microrobots could change the way we take medicine September 17, 2016 The new type of highly maneuverable microrobot uses a propulsion system inspired by the ciliated ...
When two organisms live together so closely that they merge into a functional unit, this is known as symbiosis. In the "1+1=1" project, an international, interdisciplinary research team is ...
The paramecium is an amazing organism. It survives and thrives using just one basic principle: If things are getting better, keep swimming in that direction, and if not, change course. If the water’s ...
A mesmerising time-lapse clip that swept across X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, purporting to depict the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS hurtling through space, has been definitively exposed as a ...
