Lab-made sugar-coated particle reduces COVID-19 infection rates by 98.6% in
Research led by a Swansea University academic has revealed a synthetic glycosystem—a sugar-coated polymer nanoparticle—that can block COVID-19 from infecting human cells, reducing infection rates by nearly 99%. Summary A Swansea University study has Read More
An international team, including astronomers from Keele University, has performed a unique cosmic test to measure the mass of an ancient star, which will help them learn more about the history of our galaxy. Summary Read More
Quantum clocks deliver navigation accuracy far beyond current GPS systems
Optical quantum clocks developed at the University of Adelaide have been proven to outperform GPS navigation systems by many orders of magnitude. The clocks, which were put through their paces in naval exercises, were designed Read More
Researchers examine how the use of animal testing to identify endocrine-disrupting substances in the EU can be reduced. Although it is, in principle, possible to identify such substances without using animals, non-animal methods are still Read More
Should grant applicants judge competitors’ proposals? Unorthodox approach gets two
Distributed peer review enlists more researchers in the process, but some may lack expertise Summary Distributed peer review broadens the pool of reviewers beyond traditional journals, potentially accelerating research evaluation and identifying diverse perspectives. However, Read More
Tests to detect marijuana-impaired driving are based on 'pseudoscience,' argue
For years now, U.S. police departments have employed officers who are trained to be experts in detecting “drugged driving.” The problem is, however, that the methods those officers use are not based on science, Read More
