This "nano-compass" allows the microbe to passively orient itself in Earth's geomagnetic field (Figure 2). These magnetic ... by rotating their flagella counter clockwise. Conversely, bacteria ...

This allowed the scientists to reproduce microplastics and bacteria seen in the environment ... into the tank and subjected to a rotating magnetic field for half an hour, with 10-second intervals ...

The collective motion of bacteria—from stable swirling patterns to chaotic turbulent flows—has intrigued scientists for decades. When a bacterial swarm is confined in small circular space, stable ...

But, there may be another way, albeit a rather special case, where a magnet can not only be levitated, but locked in place using a rotating magnetic field. The video shows a demonstration of how ...
