Daryl Domman, assistant professor at The University of New Mexico Center for Global Health, and Darrell Dinwiddie, assistant professor in the UNM Department of Pediatrics, have discovered a novel variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus among COVID-19-positive samples in New Mexico. The two have been working with the New Mexico Department of Health and other health officials to sequence the genomes of coronavirus samples from across the state, as well as those from other regions of the Rocky Mountains. A new variant named the “Pelican Lineage” has been observed in New Mexican samples dating back t...

Study focuses on using landscape connectivity to control deadly mosquito-borne viruses ANI | Updated: Feb 26, 2021 23:25 IST Washington [US], February 26 (ANI): A recent study led researchers at Yale School of the Environment has developed a new method for tracking how the deadly yellow fever mosquito moves through the environment, a potentially critical tool for controlling the insect and the diseases it spreads. The recent study was published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The yellow fever mosquito (Aedes aegypti) is a m...

A machine-learning approach to track how yellow fever mosquito moves through the environment The yellow fever mosquito ( Aedes aegypti) is a main vector of deadly diseases like dengue fever, chikungunya, and the Zika virus, which result in hundreds of thousands of deaths worldwide each year. Because Ae. aegypti prefers to bite humans and there are no vaccines for many of these diseases they carry, developing methods to control these insects is imperative in the fight to control illness. In a study recently published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a Yale-led research tea...

share: Tuning Electrode Surfaces to Optimize Solar Fuel Production An electrode material with modified surface atoms generates more electrical current, which drives the sunlight-powered reactions that split water into oxygen and hydrogen—a clean fuel February 18, 2021 Through a tight coupling of experiment and theory, scientists showed at the atomic level how changes in the surface composition of a photoelectrode play a critical role in photoelectrochemical performance. UPTON, NY—Scientists have demonstrated that modifying the topmost layer of atoms on the surface of electrodes can have a...
