Researchers successfully developed a robotic model that spontaneously generates tunable and accurate run-and-tumble dynamics, ...

Just like every other creature, bacteria have evolved creative ways of getting around. Sometimes this is easy, like swimming ...

Bacteria that rarely tumble are likely to get trapped by obstacles, slowing dispersion. Bacteria that tumble frequently often “retrace their steps,” also slowing dispersion. Dispersion is maximized by ...

In the classic “run-and-tumble” movement pattern, bacteria swim forward (“run”) in one direction and then stop to rotate and reorient themselves in a new direction (“tumble”). During experiments where ...
