“In this study, we report a novel and highly potent small-molecule drug called N-0385, that acts as the most effective entry inhibitor to date,” says Dr. François Jean, a project lead and professor in the department of microbiology and immunology at UBC. “We demonstrate that N-0385 is broadly protective against infection and mortality in mice, and believe N-0385 has potential as a viable early treatment option against emerging SARS-CoV-2 VOCs.”

Viable treatments for variants of concern (VOC) are urgently needed as they carry mutations in the virus spike protein that allow them to spread more easily, and cause more serious illness. VOCs may also be more resistant to antibodies produced by vaccines.

Researchers at Cornell University are developing technology that can charge an electric car while it s in motion.
US highways could embed the roads with metal plates that charge the cars as they drive over them.
The project is about five years away from a roll out, but can already power most electric vehicles.
What if you could charge your electric car while you were driving it?
Researchers out of Cornell University have been working on just that, developing a solution to one of the biggest hurdles to electric car adoption - battery range and charging availability.

Khurram Afridi, an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at Cornell, is honing technology that would allow drivers to charge their electric vehicle while they are in motion. He has been working on a project for the past seven years that would implant wireless charging infrastructure into US roads.
