Researchers used neutron scattering to investigate interactions between telaprevir, a drug used to treat hepatitis C infection, and the SARS-CoV-2 main protease.

Scientists have determined how origin Recognition Complexes assemble at the right time during the cell division cycle. One part of the complex is sequestered into small liquid bubbles, keeping it apart until the right time to recruit other proteins and initiate DNA replication.

Why does COVID-19 seem to strike in such a haphazard way, sometimes sparing the 100 year old grandmother, while killing healthy young men and women in the prime of life? A new study by Karen Anderson, Abhishek Singharoy and their colleagues at the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University, may offer some tentative clues.

Scientists have developed a pioneering new procedure that will help diagnose a potentially lethal fungal lung disease with greater speed and accuracy, and with less distress to the patient.

Researchers have developed a new type of minimally invasive brain-machine interface to read out brain activity corresponding to the planning of movement. Using functional ultrasound technology, it can map brain activity from precise regions deep within the brain at a resolution of 100 micrometers.

There are many ways to test municipal wastewater for signs of the virus that causes COVID-19, but scientists have determined which is the best yet.

Researchers have shown how changes in an environment-sensing protein enable bacteria to survive in different habitats, from the human gut to deep-sea hydrothermal vents.

Researchers have developed a material, nanoporous cubic silicon carbide, that exhibits promising properties to capture solar energy and split water for hydrogen gas production, a prospective source of renewable energy.

What if you found out that you could heal using only a finger? It sounds like science fiction, reminiscent of the 1982 movie E.T. Well, it turns out that your body's own cells can do something similarly unexpected.

Researchers looking at miniscule levels of plutonium pollution in our soils have made a breakthrough which could help inform future "clean up" operations on land around nuclear power plants, saving time and money.
