[ad_1] by Jonathan Latham, PhD and Allison Wilson, PhD Back in March, the World Health Organisation’s report on the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic coronavirus confirmed something that had long been widely presumed. Since the pandemic began, there has been an enormous virus hunt in China. The purpose of this hunt has been to find…
[ad_1] Hybrid working has become an extremely prominent topic since the coronavirus pandemic began, and it’s clear that the way we work will never be the same again. Because of this, companies are now factoring this into their futures, by planning for hybrid working models. There are some business advantages to hybrid working, and employees…
[ad_1] A new method that might improve the quality of X-ray images considerably when compared to current methods has been developed by scientists from Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY, Hamburg) and Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU). The method is called incoherent diffractive imaging (IDI) and it could possibly be used to image individual atoms in molecules and nanocrystals faster…
[ad_1] In the United States, three vaccines were granted emergency use authorization against the COVID-19 virus between December 2020 and February 2021: Moderna (an mRNA vaccine), Pfizer (an mRNA vaccine), and Johnson & Johnson (J&J – an adenovirus vector vaccine). However, once the Delta wave of the pandemic came to the USA and infections among…
[ad_1] The Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) has released recommendations for a fourth ‘winter’ dose of COVID-19 vaccines. The group is encouraging adults aged 65 years and older, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 50 years and older, aged and disability care residents and severely immunocompromised adults to get their fourth dose,…

Source: Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface Landslides are a major hazard endured by communities living in dynamic mountainous environments, causing loss of life, injury, and considerable socio-economic disruption. Forecasting the potential locations of future landslides is an important tool in the mitigation…
[ad_1] The long-term job outlook for a freshly minted science Ph.D. can be pretty grim. After devoting more than a half decade to becoming an independent researcher in the field of their passion, after sacrificing opportunities for better pay and work-life balance, and after writing papers and presenting at who-knows-how-many conferences, graduate students may emerge…

In fact, scientists are learning to treat some of the most troubling ailments — inherited diseases — at the cellular level. These therapies attack the problem…
[ad_1] Newly discovered Fermi arcs that can be controlled through magnetism could be the future of electronics based on electron spins. These new Fermi arcs were discovered by a team of researchers from Ames Laboratory and Iowa State University, as well as collaborators from the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom. During their investigation…
