Controlled experiment allowed viruses to attack bacteria in space—and the results surprised scientists
For the research, scientists compared samples incubated on Earth and on the International Space Station.
Scientists have infected bacteria with a virus aboard the International Space Station to see how they would interact in ...
Scientists found that the space station phages gradually accumulated specific mutations that boosted their infectivity, or ...
In space, bacteriophages mutate in ways not seen on Earth, making them more effective at killing drug-resistant bacteria.
Scientists used AI to design a completely new virus known as Evo-Φ2147. It is designed to infect and replicate inside ...
New research shows how surface material and temperature change how long viruses survive and whether they can still spread.
