Nanotechnology sensor for SARS-CoV-2
A new test method that detects SARS-CoV-2 in saliva has the same sensitivity as a qPCR test.
Deep learning predicts viral infections
Using fluoresence images from live cells, researchers have trained an artificial neural network to reliably recognize cells that are infected by adenoviruses or herpes viruses.
Portable test diagnoses Covid-19
Clinicians using a new viral screening test can not only diagnose Covid-19 in a matter of minutes with a portable, pocket-sized machine, but can also simultaneously test for other viruses.
Sorting out viruses with machine learning
Scientists develop a label-free method for identifying respiratory viruses based on changes in electrical current when they pass through silicon nanopores.
Washable textile coating repels viruses
Researchers have created a textile coating that can not only repel liquids like blood and saliva but can also prevent viruses from adhering to the surface.
