New research shows how surface material and temperature change how long viruses survive and whether they can still spread.

This work represents the first published simulations demonstrating how a virus as large as a soccer ball, or an even larger one like hepatitis B (T=4), can assemble step by step, shedding light on ...

A type of virus thought to be a 'mere curiosity' is plentiful in one common bacteria, and possibly others, a research team has found. The discovery improves understanding of how viruses work and could ...

For centuries, the nature of a fever — and whether it's good or bad — has been hotly contested. In ancient Greece, the physician Hippocrates thought that fever had useful qualities, and could cook an ...

BOZEMAN – Matthew Taylor likened his recently published work alongside doctoral student Gary Dunn to kicking over a rock. Once the discovery was made, it was time to see what lay beneath. Taylor, an ...
