"Never have super-resolution images been created at this resolution before with this much detail," said Duke University computer scientist and team leader Cynthia Rudin.

National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien said China is likely using espionage to try and steal U.S. coronavirus vaccine research, but he declared American scientists would develop it first.

It is not a coincidence that Neanderthals vanished just at the time, when Homo sapiens started to spread into Europe" said research lead Axel Timmermann, director of IBS Center for Climate Physics.

The team at the University of Kentucky is hoping to create a membrane mask that would "capture and deactivate" SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

"Anti-vaccination has pulled in the huge population of people who ordinarily don't talk a lot online about such issues," study author Neil Johnson told Newsweek.

The department noted the researchers from Arizona State University and the University of Arizona may possibly be called upon to work again in late summer or early fall ahead of the flu season.

For the first time, the component has been proven to carry signals between neurons using very low power—which has been a major challenge in previous studies, the research team said.

"Our results suggest that speaking can indeed be a major mode of SARS-CoV-2 transmission," researchers from the National Institutes of Health wrote Monday.
