In "Uranium 'pearls' before slime," scientists from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory...; Tags: Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, bacteria, it.For Shewanella; Blog posts 2006-08-12
Bacteria can build nanowires: Researchers at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory PNNL have discovered that under certain conditions, some very common bacteria can form nanowires. These bacteria were able to produce nanowires as small as 10 nanometers in diameter, but which can reach hundreds of microns in length. What is interesting here is that...; Tags: Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, bacteria; Blog posts 2006-07-11
