Bacteria produce a torque that can drive microscopic machines
Escherichia coli bacteria are the workhorse of microbiology labs. These bacteria move through fluids by spinning their flagella — a clump of tails driven by a molecular motor in the cell walls. Because the flagella spin one way, the body spins the other to keep it from tumbling as it moves forward. For decades, physicists...
