Paramecium are a part of a group of organisms known as ciliates, according to California Institute of Technology. As the name suggests, their bodies are covered in cilia, or short hairy protrusions.

The study, led by graduate student Ilyong Jung, looked at the cilia of the single-celled, water-dwelling paramecium. Paramecia are covered with cilia that beat like thousands of tiny oars ...

But this week, the video is about engineering artificial cilia. And just as a little recap, reminder, think of a paramecium... Right. LICHTMAN: ...and the little hairs on the outside of it that ...

A paramecium moves by the beating of its cilia; an amoeba, by the streaming of its cytoplasm; a muscle, by its over-all contraction. All these processes appear to share an underlying molecular unity ...

Until now, however, a paramecium-like propulsion system with the large number of moving, hair-like cilia that these organisms use has seemed beyond reach. The South Korean research team achieved ...

In this activity, students will learn how to prepare deep well slides for observing two types of microorganisms called Paramecium (a group of protozoa, or single-celled organisms, which move with ...
