Microbial hockey: ISTA scientists discover how bacteria rotate tiny pucks and create unusual materials

At the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA), researchers resemble blacksmiths as they work with bacteria. When placed in water, E. coli help form gel-like aggregates and, as now demonstrated by the Materiali Molli Lab, can rotate tiny…

How do birds navigate?

Bird migration is driven mostly by weather and the availability of food. But how birds migrate from one region to another without getting lost is less well understood. ERC grantees Henrik Mouritsen and Peter Hore are looking into how birds sense the…

From the Industrial Revolution to the ‘colour revolution’

Far from being simply a matter of taste, colour is a central aspect of culture, whether past or present. This is particularly true of the Victorian age (1837-1901), during which a ‘colour revolution’ took place following the invention of the first…
