Together We Stand: Bacteria Organize to Survive Hostile Environments
Using an innovative device with microscopic chambers, researchers from Johns Hopkins and three other institutions have gleaned important new information about how bacteria survive in hostile environments by forming antibiotic-resistant communities called biofilms. These biofilms play key roles in cystic fibrosis, urinary tract infections and other illnesses, and the researchers say their findings could help in the development of new treatments and preventive measures........>

Smaller than small is the new big thing
It’s in many products, from Domino’s pharmacy-grade sugar, to enzyme-based laundry detergents, computers and electronics, but you won’t see it.
Nanotechnology — items, goods and materials manufactured on the far end of the microscopic scale — is revolutionizing manufacturing, medicine and the government agencies that regulate them, said Peter Searson....>
