The art of materials science and teaching online
The global COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way in which we teach, but it doesn’t have to be all bad.
Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine approved in the UK for immediate emergency use
The companies announce the first emergency approval of their mRNA vaccine against COVID-19, with rollout to begin next week.
Scientists discover role of protein in detecting the common cold virus
Scientists uncover how a sensor protein activates our immune system against the common cold. The findings may lead to more effective treatments of flu-like symptoms.
DeepMind solves 50-year-old challenge in predicting protein folding
Using their deep-learning program, AlphaFold, researchers predict the 3D structure of proteins using only their linear amino acid sequence, revolutionizing computational biology as we know it.
Grabbing viruses out of thin air
Developments in pathogen-detecting materials could provide an easy means of detecting viruses within public places.
Climate 21: Welcome back to a future world of green energy
The Climate 21 project lays out a program for a multilateral, comprehensive, speedy, and effective change to a green energy infrastructure, one that will help mitigate the negative effects of a changing climate.
Low-cost, portable, and rapidly deployable ventilators
The procurement and maintenance of high‐end ventilators limits their use in emergency situations. By removing the “frills”, researchers create a viable alternative.
Biomaterials researchers should include sex-based differences
In a survey of biomaterials articles that included cell culture experiments, only 3.7% of studies reported the sex of the cells.
The cost of chaos: If we can’t control quantity, we’d better control quality
Freeness of scientific literature is undeniably a highly desirable concept, but it is accompanied by a responsibility that we have not yet structurally realized.
