A team of researchers believe they have identified a large, rotating structure 140 million light-years away from Earth. The structure, embedded within a larger filament, appears to challenge current ...

When active filaments are exposed to localized illumination, they accumulate into stable structures along the boundaries of the illuminated area. Based on this fact, researchers developed a model that ...

Filamentous cyanobacteria aggregate in areas with favorable light conditions and use the light energy for photosynthesis. Typically, these microorganisms form long filaments consisting of many cells.
