Recent findings by Slovenian and German scientists artfully explore potential to transform proteins into custom-made structures. Origami may sound more like art than science, but…
New research shows how face masks reduce the effective reproduction number of COVID-19, and why their efficacy varies between different environments under virus-limited and virus-rich…
A new Tel Aviv University study has revealed, for the first time, that bats know the speed of sound from birth. In order to prove…
Curbing coronavirus spread in enclosed spaces means better masks, adequate ventilation. With research increasingly showing the COVID-19 virus is transmissible via smaller droplets suspended in…
Scientists at the UNIGE have shown that the response of the retina to light depends not only on the intensity of the light perceived by…
Researchers have spent more than three decades developing and studying miniature biosensors that can identify single molecules. In five to 10 years, when such devices…
Although robotic devices are used in everything from assembly lines to medicine, engineers have a hard time accounting for the friction that occurs when those…
Some natural surfaces, like insect wings, have evolved to develop bactericidal features, which researchers hope to translate into health care materials. Dragonfly wings, lotus leaves,…
Scientists’ findings suggest corals will withstand climate change. Charles Darwin, the British naturalist who championed the theory of evolution, noted that corals form far-reaching structures,…
Small device contains wells to let small bits of tissue grow, develop, and be studied in real time. Scientists from MIT and the Indian Institute…
Researchers in the Oregon State University College of Science have taken a key step toward new drugs and vaccines for combating COVID-19 with a deep…
New findings shed light on mechanisms controlling the most basic processes of life. Five years ago, scientists created a single-celled synthetic organism that, with only…
New research provides insights into the process of diffusion in living systems, with implications from novel active coatings to understanding how pathogens are cleared from…
Researchers at Osaka University create voltage-controlled nanopores that can trap particles as they try to pass through, which may lead to single-molecule sensors, along with…
Aerosol simulations show how airborne particles containing SARS-CoV-2 spread within a music classroom and how to use portable HEPA air purifiers to reduce their spread….
Frontera, Anton 2 supercomputers simulate holistic model of SARS-CoV-2 virion. The COVID-19 virus holds some mysteries. Scientists remain in the dark on aspects of how…
CRISPR gene editing has transformed research, but it is not perfect, and can sometimes target unintended genes. To watch CRISPR enzymes respond to different genes,…
