New model reveals the aerosolized particles carrying the coronavirus can remain in the air longer than was previously suggested. Researchers modeled a scenario where an infected person coughs in a supermarket aisle and takes into consideration in-store ventilation systems. The model revealed the aerosol-cloud containing COVID-19 spreads outside the immediate vicinity of the coughing person and dilutes in the process, but the dilution occurs over several minutes.

Domestic spread of coronavirus transmission via interstate travel is now more of a threat to people in American than from international travel. Findings repeat the need for more widespread diagnostic testing for COVID-19 at the state level and more intense tracking of people exposed to SARS-CoV-2. Read More
Researchers explore why COVID-19 is more deadly compared to the flu and other viruses. Read More
Endocranial imprints of Australopithecus afarensis revealed they had an ape-like brain organization. Evidence was also found of protracted brain growth, which suggests infants may have had a longer dependence on caregivers, just like humans. Read More
A new COVID-19 vaccine produces antibodies specific to SARS-CoV-2 at quantities believed sufficient for neutralizing the virus, a mouse model study reveals. The new vaccine using an innovative microneedle array on fingertip-sized pads, which increases the vaccine potency. Read More
Using robotics, researchers uncover mechanisms in the cerebellum and spinal cord that determine how the nervous system responds to induced changes in step length. The findings could have implications for physical rehabilitation programs for people with movement disorders. Read More
Feeling at a loose end due to social distancing? You can help researchers design drugs that could help stop coronavirus from infecting human cells. Using a free computer game called Foldit, citizen scientists are helping researchers to hunt for proteins that might stop COVID-19. Read More
Georgia Tech researchers are using 3D printing, plastic-lined table cloths, and an array of other items to craft personal protective equipment that can be used by healthcare workers treating COVID-19 patients. The team will share the designs for free, allowing for crowdsourcing of DIY protective gear. Read More
Combining two-photon fluorescent microscopy and all-optical laser scanning, researchers can image the brain of an alert mouse 1,000 times a second, recording the passage of millisecond electrical pulses through neurons. Read More
