A dying worm experiences rigor mortis early in the death process, rather than after the main event as it is for humans, according to a new study. Source: Rigor mortis in worms offers new insight into death
Continue Reading →Researchers have long known that RNA viruses called coronaviruses cause the common cold and pneumonia. In the last two decades or so, though, researchers have found that these viruses can jump between animal and human hosts. In recent years, coronaviruses have caused lethal outbreaks of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome […]

To better understand these processes, researchers often use computer simulations, but accurate models are challenging and computationally expensive. Researchers demonstrate how a straightforward modification in a computer model leads to […]
