A simulation shows reducing population density in large cities decreases disease spread. Pandemics are fueled, in part, by dense populations in large cities where networks…
Some polymers can resist bacteria; can they be designed to work against viruses? Personal protective equipment, like face masks and gowns, is generally made of…
Conductive carbon fillers in lithium-ion batteries allow high power output with reversible energy storage. Lithium-ion batteries are the major rechargeable power source for many portable…
Using cold atmospheric plasma promises a breakthrough in stopping the spread of COVID-19. Researchers from UCLA believe using plasma could promise a significant breakthrough in…
Dispersion of large, medium, small airborne cough droplets in various outdoor conditions. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has led many researchers to study airborne droplet transmission…
The Contagion Airborne Transmission inequality model illustrates correlation between physical distancing and protection, the efficacy of face masks and the impact of physical activity on…
Modeling shows SARS-CoV2 isn’t spread very well by the small droplets that linger longest. Aerosol microdroplets, the tiny particles that linger in the air longest…
Open windows, use glass screens in front of desks; Aerosol spread of virus in classrooms with air conditioning poses issues for students, teachers. As the…
As the coronavirus has affected more than 30 million people globally, researchers have increasingly focused on the extent to which airborne respiratory droplets carrying the…
Impact of evaporation on virus survival, concentration, transmission. As COVID-19 cases continue to rise worldwide, it is increasingly urgent to understand how climate impacts the…
Self-assembled peptides, when aligned, show great promise for electricity generation. Nanogenerators capable of converting mechanical energy into electricity are typically made from metal oxides and…
Months into the COVID-19 pandemic, wearing a mask while out in public has become the recommended practice. However, many still question the effectiveness of this….
COVID-19 proliferates through a receptor present in most of the human body; but if the receptor is so pervasive, why does the virus seem to…
If verified, the mass-energy-information equivalence principle will show that information is a physical, dominant, fifth state of matter, and digital bits will outnumber atoms on…
Using a public restroom? Mask up! Think you don’t need to worry about COVID-19 while using a public restroom? A group of researchers from Yangzhou…
Scientists report a detailed model of aerosol transport through air, considering several environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity and ambient flow. The novel coronavirus that…
Tea drinkers have been saying it for years. Water heated in a microwave just isn’t the same. Typically, when a liquid is being warmed, the…
