A new variant named omicron (B.1.1.529) was reported by researchers in South Africa on November 24, 2021, and designated a “variant of concern” by the…
The creation of nanoscale computers for use in precision health care has long been a dream of many scientists and health care providers. Now, for…
Despite their name, rare earth elements are not actually that rare. The 17 metallic elements are ubiquitous in nature and are becoming even more common…
More than 80% percent of the white-tailed deer sampled in different parts of Iowa between December 2020 and January 2021 tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. The…
Penn State researchers develop first-of-its-kind wearable, noninvasive glucose monitoring device prototype. Noninvasive glucose monitoring devices are not currently commercially available in the United States, so…
Penn State electrical engineering professor Aida Ebrahimi receives NIH Trailblazer Award to develop a daily testing device. Current COVID-19 tests require laboratory processing, resulting in…
Half of COVID survivors experience lingering symptoms six months after recovery. More than half of the 236 million people who have been diagnosed with COVID-19…
Metals embedded in concrete can erode, rusting, and weakening until the concrete splits and the structure it supports falls. Such corrosion is believed to be…
Low concentrations of terbium could be identified from acid mine drainage and other waste sources. A new luminescent sensor can detect terbium, a valuable rare…
Researchers tease apart contributions of symbiotic bacteria and algae to corals’ heat tolerance and identify genes involved in stress response. The microbiomes of corals —…
As early as 18,000 years ago, humans in New Guinea may have collected cassowary eggs near maturity and then raised the birds to adulthood, according…
The chemical steps in an important cellular modification process that adds a chemical tag to some RNAs have been revealed in a new study. Interfering…
New study uses novel statistics to understand why some regions in Italy were hit harder than others during the first wave of the pandemic. Staying…
A combination of a once-debunked 19th-century identification of a water-carrying iron mineral and the fact that these rocks are extremely common on Earth, suggests the…
Researchers design new COVID-19 therapy that uses a defective version of the SARS-CoV-2 virus to drive the disease-causing version to extinction. What if the COVID-19…
Algorithm helps study of how relatively simple actions can lead to complex behaviors, from cancer growth to voting patterns. From biochemical reactions that produce cancers,…
Molecular geneticists have known for about a decade that genomic structural variants can play important roles in the adaptation and speciation of both plants and animals, but…
