Researchers in Australia have just discovered that the disease-causing COVID-19 coronavirus can survive a very long time on a smartphone screen - longer than "classic" influenza viruses. Virus viability was tested in a controlled environment.
Researchers at the Australian Science Agency found that in a tightly controlled environment, COVID-19 coronavirus can survive for 28 days, while the traditional influenza virus...
American and Brazilian scientists have obtained a protein that kills bacteria from the venom of Asian wild bees. Protein has been made safe for humans through genetic modification, Report informs, citing Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Many types of bacteria that cause the disease are known to be resistant to existing drugs. Simultaneously, according to scientists, bacterial infections...
"The recent crimes committed by Armenians against civilians in cities and regions far from the front line of Azerbaijan are another vivid example of the fact that Armenia is a terrorist state."

To support the National Army the staff of Academician A.Guliyev Institute of Chemistry of Additives of Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences has donated 14 000 AZN, received on a voluntary basis, to the Azerbaijan Armed Forces Relief Fund.
A super-enzyme that degrades plastic bottles six times faster than before has been created by scientists and could be used for recycling within a year or two.
The super-enzyme, derived from bacteria that naturally evolved the ability to eat plastic, enables the full recycling of the bottles. Scientists believe combining it with enzymes that break down cotton could also allow...
Redmond, Wash.-based MagniX says it’s partnering with a Los Angeles startup called Universal Hydrogen to retrofit 40-passenger regional aircraft with carbon-free, hydrogen-fueled electric powertrains.
The partnership opens up a new frontier for MagniX, which is already involved in flight tests for all-electric versions of smaller airplanes such as the de Havilland Beaver (for Vancouver, B.C.-based Harbour Air) and the Cessna Grand Caravan.
This time, MagniX and Universal Hydrogen...
A meeting was held at academician A.Guliyev Institute of Chemistry of Additives of Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences to demonstrate the Institute employees’ support to the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan who in recent days have taken the fight to the military provocation committed by Armenia against our country.
At the event, the director of the institute, academician Vagif Farzaliyev congratulated...
Researchers at the University of Helsinki have developed a technique in which a computer models visual perception by monitoring human brain signals. In a way, it is as if the computer tries to imagine what a human is thinking about. As a result of this imagining, the computer is able to produce entirely new information, such as fictional images...
Aerospace giant Airbus has unveiled plans for what it hailed as the first commercial zero-emission aircraft.
The company said its hydrogen-fuelled passenger planes could be in service by 2035.
Airbus chief executive Guillaume Faury said the three ZEROe concept designs marked "a historic moment for the commercial aviation sector".
The use of hydrogen had "the potential to significantly reduce aviation's climate impact",...
A Japanese firm has invented an ultraviolet lamp that can disinfect enclosed spaces and kill the coronavirus without harming human health.
In a joint work, light-maker Ushio Inc. and Columbia University developed the Care 222 UV lamp, the first indoor cleaner in the world against COVID-19, the local media reported Tuesday.
The invention may be used in spaces where people have...
