Real-world study details average duration of infectiousness for COVID-19
New research unveils how long infectiousness lasts after natural COVID-19 infection in the community. Researchers conducted detailed daily tests from when people were exposed to SARS-CoV-2 to look at how much infectious virus they were shedding through…

A breakthrough in magnetic materials research could lead to novel ways to manipulate electron flow with much less energy loss
Newly discovered magnetic interactions in the Kagome layered topological magnet TbMn6Sn6 could be the key to customizing how electrons flow through these materials. Scientists have conducted an in-depth investigation of TbMn6Sn6 to better understand th…
Random acts of kindness make a bigger splash than expected
Even though they often enhance happiness, acts of kindness such as giving a friend a ride or bringing food for a sick family member can be somewhat rare because people underestimate how good these actions make recipients feel, according to new research.
