Scientists finally cracked how bacteria's spinning motor actually works

Mike Manson has spent 50 years at Texas A&M studying the bacterial flagellar motor — a molecular machine that spins hundreds of times per second, outpacing a race car's spinning crankshaft, to drive bacteria through water. He finally understands it. "My lifelong quest is now fulfilled," he told Quanta Magazine. — Read the rest
