This is how molecular machines form tangled proteins

Weizmann Institute of Science research reveals how AAA+ family machines use an energy-efficient mechanism to thread proteins through a tiny channel, providing inspiration for the development of artificial molecular machines

Survive with 0% battery: an immune system that drains the cell of energy has been discovered

The new system was discovered in bacteria - but is also used in corals, bees and others
