The image on the left shows an example of superresolved images of H-NS proteins in individual E. coli. The image on the right shows examples of trajectories of H-NS proteins.  Yong Wang, assistant professor of physics, and graduate student Asmaa Sadoon have been studying how molecules travel through bacterial cytoplasm in order to understand more about how these tiny organisms function. Using new high-tech tools, they have been able to observe certain processes inside live bacteria for the first time. They published their results in the journal Physical Review E. The researchers used a combination of super-resolution fluorescence microscopy and...
