Here, the researchers will collect samples of black carbon and
microoganisms while measuring incoming sunlight and reflectivity.
Indeed, the nanoscale is the scale of biological function, and technologies built at that scale will be essential to image, sense and
manipulate microoganisms.
In a healthy person, gut microorganisms limit infections but antibiotics are believed to disrupt the normal structure of
these microoganisms, rendering the gut less able to prevent infection with C. difficile.
