New variants of the African swine fever virus circulating in China appear to cause a milder form of the disease, making it less deadly but harder to detect and to get under control
If safety protocols are not followed, new versions that can spread faster or dominate the previous version could emerge, they warned as worries mounted over a recent study showing 7,684 mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 genome in India
Two new variants, N440K and E484Q have been found in Maharashtra, Kerala and Telangana
Systems engineer Ian Clark used a binary code to spell out 'Dare Mighty Things' in the orange and white strips of the 70-foot (21-metre) parachute
Adaptive Biotechnologies Corp. launched a test that uses machine-learning technology from Microsoft Corp. to detect prior Covid-19 infections, aiming to fill an important gap left by standard antibody screening.
A new study shows an anti-inflammatory drug can help treat certain severe symptoms of Covid-19, and adds a tool for helping the sickest patients
NASA also presented a brief audio clip captured by microphones on the rover after its arrival that included the murmur of a light wind gust
The experts said it is crucial to ensure that the number of cases does not start increasing again as it has in many countries such as Italy, the UK, and the USA
The researchers from NASA and German Aerospace Center tested the endurance of microorganisms to Martian conditions by launching them into stratosphere, the second major layer of Earth's atmosphere which closely represents key conditions on Mars
Variants of the Covid-19 carrying 2 specific mutations in their spike protein may evade antibodies and make vaccines less effective, according to eminent virologist Shahid Jameel, who says the need of the hour is to improve surveillance for 'homegrown' lineages of the virus
Serum Institute, the world's biggest vaccine maker by volume, on Sunday asked for patience from foreign governments awaiting their supply of Covid-19 shots, saying it had been directed to prioritise India's requirements
'We are working on it. It has the same configuration like Chandrayaan-2 but it will not have an orbiter. The orbiter launched during Chandrayaan-2 will be used for Chandrayaan-3. With that we are working on a system and mostly the launch will be next year in 2022', ISRO chief K Sivan said
The paper develops methods to quickly approximate the complex dynamics of neural network models that capture how real neurons observed in the lab behave, how they are connected and how they process information
