A new algorithm helps researchers search out new molecules for applications in medicine, keeping their synthesis quick and cost-effective.
Perpetual loneliness linked to a lack of trust
Loneliness has been linked to detrimental and sometimes deadly health effects, and so researchers are seeking a biological answer to help prevent and treat it.
Can we live without AI?
The benefits and controversies around AI are clear, but by drawing on current experiences, we can establish an order that ensures AI does not become a threat but a very useful aid.
Investing in clean energy research: How likely are we to phase out fossil fuels?
Major world economies are investing more in green technologies, but how optimistic should we be?
Graphene adjuvant improves efficacy of dendritic cell vaccines
Dendritic cell vaccines offer a unique opportunity in biomedicine, and limitations in efficacy can now potentially be overcome using graphene oxide nanosheets.
Neural networks overcome the setbacks of current computational drug discovery
Computer-aided drug discovery looks to neural networks that can better predict chemical properties to streamline the search for new therapeutics.
Could a universal coronavirus vaccine be possible?
COVID-19 is unlikely to be the last coronavirus to spill over to humans. Scientists are working to make a universal vaccine to combat future outbreaks.
IPCC: Climate change widespread, rampant, and intensifying
Major climate change effects are irreversible, though there is still a small window of time to mitigate the worst.
Researchers shoot incredibly detailed movies of viruses in liquid
Liquid phase electron microscopy gives unprecedented insight into the behaviour and structure of adeno-associated virus in solution
Delivering CRISPR gene-editing therapy: What’s holding us back?
Genomic editing tools can reverse disease causing mutations to provide cures — once we can conquer the remaining barriers.
