Porous materials have a wide range of applications due to their capacity to act as filters, or lightweight structural ...

Long overshadowed by bacteria, the gut virome is now stepping into the spotlight as a key player in health and disease.

New imaging tools reveal how within an hour of infection, the virus begins to alter our chromosomes to kick-start its own replication.

That virus was eradicated in the wild by 1977, but now it vanishes from the high-security freezers where the last spooky samples are stored. The SARS virus of 2003, the alarm that we now know ...

A novel microwave absorber based on metamaterials (MTM) is suggested, which has four stacked diamond-shaped structures inside a square ring resonator, like a bacteriophage virus. The proposed ...

Structure of an entire DT57C bacteriophage. The entire virus was reconstructed in three dimensions at near-atomic resolution and visualized in this animation. One of the main challenges of the ...

The word "virus" is often associated with negative connotations. However, it is important to note that not all viruses are harmful. In fact, there are many viruses that live inside our bodies and play ...

The lytic and lysogenic cycles are the two main phases of a virus’ infective lifecycle and route to replication. The lytic cycle, or virulent infection, involves a virus taking control of a host cell ...

A recent study in the Journal of Biological Chemistry has revealed the secret behind an evolutionary marvel: a bacteriophage with an extremely long tail. This extraordinary tail is part of a ...

The actual structure of the virus looks similar to the one that has gone viral on the internet. However, the viral image is a 3D design. The image has been snapped out of a YouTube video titled 'XVIVO ...
