'Nanodecoy' therapy binds and neutralizes SARS-CoV-2 virus

Phys.org   -   Scientific News Websites

Nanodecoys made from human lung spheroid cells (LSCs) can bind to and neutralize SARS-CoV-2, promoting viral clearance and reducing lung injury in a macaque model of COVID-19. By mimicking the receptor that the virus binds to rather than targeting...

Physicists bring human-scale object to near standstill, reaching a quantum state: The results open possibilities for studying gravity's effects on relatively large objects in quantum states

ScienceDaily   -   General News Websites

In the last few decades, physicists have found ways to super-cool objects so that their atoms are at a near standstill, wrestling small objects such as clouds of millions of atoms, or nanogram-scale objects, into such pure quantum states. Now scie...
