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…
