A new method of planet formation identified
Scientists have suggested a new explanation for the abundance in intermediate-mass exoplanets – a long-standing puzzle in astronomy.
Scientists identified the function of a mystery protein that kills brain cells in Parkinson’s disease
Scientists have made a 'vital step' towards understanding the origins of Parkinson's Disease - the fastest growing neurological condition in the world.
Multiplying light signals could solve highly complex computational problems
New type of optical computing could solve highly complex problems that are out of reach for even the most powerful supercomputers.
Climate change could have played a direct role in the emergence of SARS-CoV-2
Global greenhouse gas emissions over the last century have made southern China a hotspot for bat-borne coronaviruses, by driving the growth of forest habitat favored by bats.
DNA test can quickly identify pneumonia in patients with severe COVID-19
Aiding faster treatment.
Genetic changes in SARS-CoV-2 may be responsible for the jump from bats to humans
Study established which animals have cellular receptors that allow the virus to enter their cells most effectively.
Apathy could predict the onset of some forms of dementia many years before
Apathy could predict the onset of dementia years before other symptoms.
A way to protect highly fragile quantum systems from noise
Hidden symmetry could be key to more robust quantum systems.
Scientists discovered the shape of the SARS-CoV-2 genome after infection
The study uncovered how the genome of SARS-CoV-2 uses genome origami to infect and replicate successfully inside host cells.
Study detail the mechanisms underlying SARS-CoV-2 infection
‘Mini-lungs’ reveal early stages of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Walking inside individual cells
It could be used to understand fundamental problems in biology.
