A redesigned version of the coronavirus spike protein called HexaPro might speed up vaccine production and yield a more effective immune response to SARS-CoV-2.

Finding offers important clues to developing drugs to stop other RNA viruses, such as SARS-COV-2.

When the first COVID-19 vaccine trial in the U.S. began on March 16, history was being made. Never before had a potential vaccine been developed...

Researchers stored a copy of the Wizard of Oz - in Esperanto - in DNA using a revolutionary new technique.

A new study from researchers at The University of Texas at Austin has found that some antivirals are useful for more than helping sick people get better — they also can prevent thousands of deaths and hundreds of thousands of virus cases if used in the early stages of infection.

Their findings could have applications crop yields, disease and stress resistance in plants, and informing biofuel production.

So what will the next 50 years bring? Absent a crystal ball, your best bet would be to ask a scientist.

Bacterial DNA much more twisted than originally thought.
