In this story, not much is as it first seemed.

A new experimental vaccine could offer protection not only against many variants of SARS-CoV-2, but also other sarbecoviruses that could spill over from animals to humans.

One question that every curious child winds up asking at some point or other is, "what are things made of?" Every ingredient, it seems, is made up of other, more fundamental ingredients at a smaller…

In a study published in ACS Catalysis, a research team led by Prof. Yan Wensheng from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) has revealed the "volcano-type" relationship between metal loading and acidic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity in single-atom catalysts.

Scientists are slowly getting to the bottom of how some of the universe's most mind-bending worlds came to be.

Using a virus-like delivery particle made from DNA, researchers from MIT and the Ragon Institute of MGH, MIT, and Harvard have created a vaccine that can induce a strong antibody response against SARS-CoV-2.

The city acquired and razed the troubled Electro Plating Services building on 10 Mile Road last year. Cleanup of tainted soil expected by early 2024.

After some recent intense wildfires in Northern California, scientists tested samples of singed soil and were disturbed by their findings: It was laden with ...

Chains of fused carbon-containing rings have unique optoelectronic properties that make them useful as semiconductors. These chains, known as acenes, can also be tuned to emit different colors of light, which makes them good candidates for use in organic light-emitting diodes.

Near-infrared (NIR)-emitting phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes (pc-LEDs) have attracted attention in emerging technology fields such as night-vision and bio-imaging. Currently, the development of NIR-emitting pc-LEDs has encountered a bottleneck due to the lack of blue-light excitable high-performance NIR-emitting phosphor materials.

Updated Covid shots are — and aren't — like your annual flu vaccine. Here's what you need to know, from how to get one to whether you should.

News about newly approved vaccine boosters for COVID

Three preliminary studies suggest BA.2.86 may not be the scary subvariant some feared.

In our everyday experience, the world is 100% measurable, deterministic, and independent of the observer. The glass is either on the table in an unbroken state, or it's on the floor in a shattered…

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 97% of people in the U.S. have some immunity to COVID-19 through vaccination, infection or both.

Two molecular languages at the origin of life have been successfully recreated and mathematically validated, thanks to pioneering work by Canadian scientists at Université de Montréal.

The periodic table of elements is widely recognized, but there are hundreds of beautiful and different periodic table reinterpretations.

Multiple complementary DNA strands can be thermally annealed into desired entities to engineer DNA nanostructures. In a new study now published in Nature Nanotechnology, Caroline Rossi-Gendron and a team of researchers in chemistry, materials science and biology in France and Japan used a magnesium-free buffer containing sodium chloride, complex cocktails of DNA strands and proteins to self-assemble isothermally at…
