Magnetic cilia—artificial hairs whose movement is powered by embedded magnetic particles—have been around for a while, and ...

In spring, the days lengthen, the water warms slightly, nutrients flow into the ocean’s surface layers from land or deeper ...

Once dismissed as the cellular equivalent of tonsils, primary cilia are now known to be invaluable antennae that help cells sense their environment. UAB's Bradley Yoder has helped connect primary ...

For a long time, almost all attention was on the motile cilia because their function was readily observable. But scientists, starting with Alexander Kowalevsky had reported the presence of single ...

Although the bloody jelly resembles a jellyfish, it is, in fact, a ctenophore, or comb jelly. These organisms differ from jellyfish because they lack nematocysts, the characteristic stinging cells in ...

Magnetic cilia – artificial hairs whose movement is powered by embedded magnetic particles – have been around for a while, and are of interest for applications in soft robotics, transporting ...

They are among 502 scientists, engineers and innovators recognized for their achievements Rutgers faculty elected to the ...

The effects of quantum mechanics—the laws of physics that apply at exceedingly small scales—are extremely sensitive to ...

Cilia-driven flow plays a critical part in animal physiology and development, ranging from the disgusting but important function of mucus clearance to the more pleasant-to-contemplate role of ...
