Michael Flores+FollowBacteria Have Harpoon Guns?!Turns out, some bacteria are basically tiny, ruthless pirates. When food gets scarce, they whip out poison-tipped harpoons (yep, really) and hunt down their bacterial neighbors for dinner. Scientists just found out these little microbes don’t just kill for fun—they’re strategic about when to attack and eat others. Wild, right? This discovery could even help us fight antibiotic resistance in the future. Microbe drama is real! #ScienceNews #Microbiology #Bacteria #Science40Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowSpace Station Bacteria Level: Mutant!Chinese astronauts just found a wild new bacteria chilling on their space station—Niallia tiangongensis. This little guy is basically a mutant cousin of a common Earth bacteria, but it’s got some crazy survival skills, like eating gelatin and possibly fixing radiation damage. Scientists think it could help us figure out how life adapts in space (and maybe even help medicine and farming back on Earth). Space germs are officially next-level! #SpaceScience #Bacteria #Tiangong #SpaceStation #WeirdScience #Science20Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowBacteria That Acts Like a Living Wire?!Did you know scientists just found a bacteria that literally conducts electricity like a wire? Meet Ca. Electrothrix yaqonensis, discovered on the Oregon coast. This wild little organism forms long filaments and transfers electrons along its body—basically, it’s a living electric cable! Researchers think it could help clean up pollution or even inspire new green tech. Nature’s got some serious sci-fi vibes going on! #ScienceNews #WeirdNature #Innovation #RenewableEnergy #Bacteria #Science50Share
