Research captures how human sperm swim in 3D Using a high-speed camera capable of recording over 8,000 frames in one second, and a microscope stage with a piezoelectric device to move the sample up and down at an incredibly high rate, they were able to scan the sperm swimming freely in 3D. "Human sperm roll as they
'AeroNabs' promise powerful, inhalable protection against COVID-19 Led by UCSF graduate student Michael Schoof, a team of researchers engineered a completely synthetic, production-ready molecule that straitjackets the crucial SARS-CoV-2 machinery that allows the virus to infect our cells. As reported in a new paper, now available on the preprint server bioRxiv, experiments using live virus show that
Inexpensive, accessible device provides visual proof that masks block droplets: Study demonstrates a simple way to test facial covering materials for effectiveness But he needed to know whether the virus-blocking claims mask suppliers made were true, to assure he wasn't providing ineffective masks that spread viruses along with false security.
COVID-19 lockdown caused 50 percent global reduction in human-linked Earth vibrations This quiet period, likely caused by the total global effect of social distancing measures, closure of services and industry, and drops in tourism and travel, is the longest and most pronounced quiet period of seismic noise in recorded history. The new research, led by the Royal Observatory of Belgium and

Plato was right: Earth is made, on average, of cubes: The ancient Greek philosopher was on to something, researchers found Science has steadily moved beyond Plato's conjectures, looking instead to the atom as the building block of the universe.Yet Plato seems to have been onto something, researchers have found.
Researchers convert female mosquitoes to nonbiting males with implications for mosquito control Male mosquitoes do not bite and are unable to transmit pathogens to humans.Female mosquitoes, on the other hand, are able to bite.
'Little brain' or cerebellum not so little after all Sometimes referred to by its Latin translation as the '"little brain"', the cerebellum is located close to the brainstem and sits under the cortex in the hindbrain.
