The rapid spread of COVID-19 caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has led to significant research on the mechanisms of how the virus spreads, which is usually by airborne transmission.
Image Credit: Morakot Kawinchan/Shutterstock.com Several years of rapid development has allowed research groups worldwide to create increasingly efficient perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells. The scientific focus is now shifting towards the better understanding and control of the mechanisms responsible for the impressive performance of these new types of photovoltaics. Solar cells based on crystalline silicon have been very successful during the worldwide uptake of photovoltaic (PV) technology and currently dominate the PV market. The vast majority of the commercial solar cells used in so...

RECoVERY: New open-source software developed for analyzing SARS-CoV-2 genomes A team of researchers from the Istituto Superiore di Sanita (ISS), Italy, report an open-source platform-independent tool for building severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) genomes from raw sequencing reads. The tool can be used without any extra hardware or software and be run using any browser from a desktop or mobile. SARS-CoV-2, the causative pathogen of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has rapidly spread across the globe resulting in more than two million deaths. Next-generation sequen...
There have been significant efforts worldwide to combat COVID-19, the disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). One prominent strategy has been to develop vaccines against the virus. Numerous vaccine candidates are under development, and a handful have now been approved for use by several countries.
Study suggests SARS-CoV-2 could affect aquatic wildlife Researchers have found that oxidative stress and neurotoxicity biomarkers increased in tadpoles exposed to synthetic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike protein peptides. SARS-CoV-2, the causative pathogen of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), spreads mainly by the airborne transmission of virus droplets from an infected person. However, the virus can stay alive on various surfaces (also known as 'fomites') for several days. Coming in contact with such contaminated surfaces can also cause virus transmissi...
