Disposable Molecular Ruler Helps Determine Length of Bacteria’s Nanoscopic Needle

When a salmonella bacterium attacks a cell, it uses a nanoscopic needle to inject it with proteins to aid the infection. If the needle is too short, the cell won’t be infected. Too long, and the needle breaks. Now, University of Utah biologists report how a disposable molecular ruler or tape measure determines the length of the bacterial needle so it is just right.

Randomly Crumpled, Purposefully Folded Thin Polymeric Films Hold Promise for Aerospace Applications

While many of us crumple up a sheet of paper into a ball in frustration, physicist Andrew Croll views it as something quite different. The structure of the bends and folds created, as well as those found in origami—the art of folding paper into beautiful objects—may help solve a larger scientific puzzle. Instead of paper, Croll and his research team at North Dakota State University, Fargo, use polymer films known as “thin films,” or extremely thin slivers of layers of material—tens of nanometers thin. A nanometer is 10,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair.
