    A tiny antibody which can crush a Coronavirus.

    Llama antibodies clamp the coronavirus shut at its weakest spot—leaving the virus powerless to mutate or infect. Researchers have identified a special type of small antibody that offers strong protection against a wide variety of SARS-related coronaviruses. These include the original SARS-CoV-1...

    She Solved Math’s Most Impossible Problem.

    Consider a pencil lying on your desk. Try to spin it around so that it points once in every direction, but make sure it sweeps over as little of the desk’s surface as possible. You might twirl the pencil about its middle, tracing out a circle. But if you slide it in clever ways, you can do much...
