Do masks really hinder emotional recognition?
We need not be so concerned, say experts, as humans use more than just facial cues to read emotion.
Solving the oxygen supply shortage with electrochemistry
A new electrochemical device produces high purity oxygen in situ, and researchers hope it might help curb the oxygen supply shortage.
Sniffer dogs detect COVID-19
A real-world study showed dogs were almost as good as PCR tests when detecting COVID-19 in individuals.
Broad-spectrum antivirals made from polymers
Polymer-based broad spectrum antivirals show activity against Zika, Ebola, HIV-1, the Herpes simplex virus, and now, SARS-CoV-2.
Decoy particles trick SARS-CoV-2
Using nanoparticles fitted with ACE2 receptors, researchers hope to lure SARS-CoV-2 away from healthy cells to inhibit the virus and treat infection.
COVID-19 breathalyzer gets FDA approval
Using a chemical signature in the breath, a newly approved COVID-19 breathalyzer could provide an easy and rapid means of testing.
Module labs are a polarizing plan for COVID-19 vaccine manufacturing in Africa
Without independent vaccine manufacturing in Africa, the social and economic costs of the pandemic will only be prolonged.
Waning immunity and COVID-19 boosters modeled in digital town
The debate around COVID-19 boosters is highly nuanced, but a new computational model could help better inform policy around such measures in an evolving pandemic.
