Scientists have developed a new method for identifying single virus particles based on changes in electrical current when they pass through ultrasmall pores, an advance which they claim may lead to new rapid COVID-19 tests.
A team of Indian-origin immunologists in the US has discovered a potential strategy to prevent life-threatening inflammation, lung damage, and organ failure in patients with Covid-19.
Boston University biomedical engineers and collaborators from the University of Vermont have begun to crack one of the most life-threatening mysteries behind the relationship between silent hypoxia and coronavirus following different scenarios.
The nebula -- a cloud of gas in space -- is likely composed of debris from two stars that collided and merged into a single star, said a study published in the journal Nature.
As the world moves into the next stage of COVID-19 management and several vaccine candidates approach end-stage trials, scientists say a critical consideration for India is storage temperature and a protein-based preventive might therefore work best for the country.
The Chapare virus in question is capable of human-to-human transmission. The rare virus was discovered due to ongoing efforts of scientists around the globe to avert future pandemics like COVID-19.
Scientists have further decoded the phenomenon that led Mars to lose the equivalent of a global ocean of water up to hundreds of feet deep over billions of years.
At least 14 scientists from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) - Banaras Hindu University have figured among the top two per cent scientists in a global list compiled by the prestigious Standford University.
Scientists have found a key factor which may explain why the novel coronavirus predominantly affects adults and older people while seeming to spare younger children, an advance that may lead to the development of new treatment strategies for COVID-19.
Chemical engineers have developed a new way to stabilise vaccines with proteins instead of relying on refrigeration, an innovation that may help reduce wastage of the therapeutic during transportation and storage.
An analysis of outbreaks of the novel coronavirus on 16 mink farms in the Netherlands has revealed that the COVID-19 virus is capable of transmission between humans to minks, as well as from these mammals to people.
The research, published in the journal Science Advances, investigated the impact of long-term exposure to PM 2.5 pollutants -- tiny particles in the air that are two and one half microns or less in width -- on COVID-19 mortality rates in 3089 counties in the US, "covering 98 per cent of the population."
Scientists have unearthed a 9,000-year-old female hunter burial in the Andes Mountains of South America which counters the long-held belief that when early human groups sought food, men hunted and women gathered.
Artificial intelligence (AI) may help doctors better predict the risk of patients developing oral cancer by ensuring accuracy, consistency and objectivity, according to researchers from the University of Sheffield in the UK.
Scientists have developed a vaccine candidate for COVID-19 that produces "extremely high levels" of protective antibodies in animal models, an advance that may lead to a novel therapeutic to curb the pandemic.
In the research, funded by airlines, airports and aircraft manufacturers, scientists from the Harvard T H Chan School of Public Health in the US, said the ventilation system in airplanes made of High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters continuously circulate and refresh the air supply, "filtering out more than 99 per cent of the particles that cause COVID-19."
Developed by the Royal Thai Airforce, the ZnO-NP-coated socks were trialled in a real-life setting by researchers at the Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, in Thailand.
Now, asymptomatic COVID-19 patients can be distinguished from healthy individuals as scientists claim they have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that shows the results on an app that can be downloaded on smartphones.
NASA scientists have discovered a molecule in Saturn moon Titan's atmosphere that has never been detected in any other atmosphere. In fact, many chemists have probably barely heard of this molecule called cyclopropenylidene, or C3H2.
An analysis of more than 80 studies reporting complications experienced by COVID-19 patients has revealed that about one-third of them have abnormalities in the frontal lobe of the brain, findings which shed light on the neurological symptoms of the disease.
