The bubble concept could explain one of the strangest mysteries plaguing astrophysics: Why can't we tell how fast the universe is expanding?

A coronavirus envelope all-atom computer model is being developed. The coronavirus model builds on success of all-atom infuenza virus simulations. Molecular dynamics simulations for the coronavirus model tests ran on up ...

Georgia Tech researchers are using 3D printing, plastic-lined table cloths, and an array of other items to craft personal protective equipment that can be used by healthcare workers treating COVID-19 patients. The team w...

A tiny meteorite found in Antarctica doesn't match any asteroid or comet we know of. Instead, it must have come from a mystery parent body that's full of water

A cheap, biocompatible white powder that luminesces when heated could be used for non-invasively monitoring the temperature of specific organs within the body. Scientists have now conducted preliminary tests to demonstra...

Scientists have developed a solid material capable of slowly releasing hydrogen sulfide and nitric oxide when exposed to air. These gases can induce physiologically favorable effects at low concentrations (e.g., reducing...

In the production of compounds, chemists have the goal of finding strategies that are most selective and avoid waste products. This helps to drive industrial innovation and drug development. In this context, a team of re...

The first study looking at the effect of chlorhexidine mouthwash on the entire oral microbiome has found its use significantly increases the abundance of lactate-producing bacteria that lower saliva pH, and may increase ...

A new modelling study conducted in a simulated Singapore setting has estimated that a combined approach of physical distancing interventions, comprising quarantine (for infected individuals and their families), school cl...

Bacteria are increasingly becoming resistant to antibiotics. By combining antibiotics with the cannabis compound, cannabidiol, researchers have found a way to enhance the antibiotic effect.

An international team of scientists found that, like humans, female wild animals tend to live longer than males.

We humans are far from the first to exploit the benefits of CRISPR. Groundbreaking research has helped to redefine what CRISPR is. Researchers have discovered that primitive bacterial parasites weaponize CRISPR to engage...

Researchers found that individuals going to bed even 30 minutes later than their usual bedtime presented a significantly higher resting heart rate that lasted into the following day.

Scientists have revealed an important mechanism in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks, according to new research.

Nearly three in ten New York City residents (29%) report that either they or someone in their household has lost their job as a result of coronavirus over the last two weeks. In addition, 80% of NYC residents said they e...

Many of us are spending a lot of time looking at our hands lately and we think we know them pretty well. But research shows the way our brains perceive our hands is inaccurate.

Researchers cook up a neuromorphic brain-mimicking processing system with a blend of circuits and memristive devices.

We often overestimate the length of the back of our hands, even though we perceive our palm length accurately.

Tissue plasminogen activators (tPA), FDA approved drugs used to treat stroke and heart attack patients, may help COVID-19 patients in danger of respiratory failure. If successful, the drug may help treat severe respirato...

Doctors in New York will soon test whether blood from people who recover from COVID-19 can help treat the disease in others.

Vaping cannabis products with rich THC content leads to drug-seeking behaviors in animal models.

Singapore model indicates quarantining people infected with COVID-19 and their family members, closing schools, and distancing, in that order, are effective at reducing transmission of the virus.
