Published in the Journal of Nanobiotechnology, Banerjee's team found that nanoplastics with positively charged surfaces were more likely to cause physiological stress in E. coli O157:H7.Just as a ...

The race to build the first useful quantum computer is on and may revolutionize the world with brand new capabilities, from ...

Researchers have found that nanoplastics make foodborne bacteria like E. coli O157:H7 stronger, increasing their dangers to ...

Speeding around the Earth at 28,000 km/h, NASA astronaut Nichole Ayers captured an incredible view of a phenomenon known as a ...

Most atoms are made from positively charged protons, neutral neutrons and negatively charged electrons. Positronium is an exotic atom composed of a single negative electron and a positively ...

But while charged black holes are certainly theoretically possible, a negatively charged black hole will preferentially attract positively charged particles and repel negatively charged ones.

The positively charged particles still caused stress—and enhanced Shiga-like toxin production—in biofilm-bound E. coli. "Biofilms are a very robust bacterial structure and are hard to eradicate.
