COVID Radar: Genetic Sequencing Can Help Predict Severity of Next Variant
More than two years into the pandemic, scientists and public health officials are doing their best to predict how mutations of the SARS-CoV-2 virus are likely to make it more transmissible, evasive to the immune system and likely to cause severe infections. But collecting and analyzing the genetic data to identify new variants — and linking it to the specific patients who have been sickened by it — is still an arduous process.
Tracking Jets in Hot Quark Soup Reveals a Mechanism of ‘Quenching’
The results may offer insight into the quark-gluon plasma—the hot mix of fundamental nuclear-matter building blocks that filled the early universe.
