| Researchers identify mutations of Delta, Delta Plus variants Posted: 28 Sep 2021 12:51 PM PDT Using bioinformatics tools and programming, researchers identified five specific mutations that are far more prevalent in Delta Plus infections compared to Delta infections, including one mutation, K417N, that is present in all Delta Plus infections but not present in nearly any Delta infections. The findings provide important clues to researchers about the structural changes to the virus recently and highlight the need to expand the toolbox in the fight against COVID-19. |
| AI may predict the next virus to jump from animals to humans Posted: 28 Sep 2021 11:18 AM PDT A new study suggests that machine learning using viral genomes may predict the likelihood that any animal-infecting virus will infect humans, given biologically relevant exposure. |
| Unbreakable glass inspired by seashells Posted: 28 Sep 2021 09:13 AM PDT Scientists develop stronger and tougher glass, inspired by the inner layer of mollusk shells. Instead of shattering upon impact, the new material has the resiliency of plastic and could be used to improve cell phone screens in the future, among other applications. |
| Will twisted superconducting flakes make better components for quantum computers? Posted: 28 Sep 2021 07:22 AM PDT Researchers have found a way to make 'single-crystal flake' devices that are so thin and free of defects, they have the potential to outperform components used today in quantum computer circuits. |
| Capturing light: New ergonomic photodetector for the trillion-sensor era Posted: 27 Sep 2021 02:29 PM PDT Light-to-frequency conversion circuits (LFCs) are often used to overcome setbacks faced by conventional ultra-low power light sensors. However, use of LFCs can lead to chip area wastage and poor performance of photosensors. Researchers have now developed a highly photosensitive LFC with improved chip area economy, high tuneability, and superior compatibility with flexible electronics. This novel photodetector system can be used in the newly envisioned Internet-of-things (IOT) sensor systems. |
| Peering into the Moon's shadows with AI Posted: 23 Sep 2021 08:56 AM PDT Permanently shadowed lunar craters contain water ice, but are difficult to image. A machine learning algorithm now provides sharper images. |
| Mathematical constructions of COVID virus activity could provide new insight for vaccines, treatment Posted: 23 Sep 2021 07:21 AM PDT Mathematical constructions of the action of SARS-CoV-2 and its multiple spikes, which enable its success at infecting cells, can give vaccine developers and pharmaceutical companies alike a more precise picture of what the virus is doing inside us and help fine tune prevention and treatment. |
| A computer algorithm called 'Eva' may have saved lives in Greece Posted: 23 Sep 2021 07:20 AM PDT Artificial intelligence has proven to be an important tool in preventing the spread of COVID-19 -- at least for Greece. A special algorithm dubbed Eva helped Greek health officials identify high-risk travelers and get them tested. |
