Optical elastic scattering for early label-free identification of clinical pathogens [PDF]
We report here on the ability of elastic light scattering in discriminating Gram+, Gram-and yeasts at an early stage of growth (6h). Our technique is non-invasive, low cost and does require neither skilled operators nor reagents. Therefore it is compatible with automation.

Computing the motor torque of Escherichia coli [PDF]
The rotary motor of bacteria is a natural nano-technological marvel that enables cell locomotion by powering the rotation of semi-rigid helical flagellar filaments in fluid environments. It is well known that the motor operates essentially at constant torque in counter-clockwise direction but past work have reported a large range of values of this ...
