Deep learning technology boosts the speed of localization photoacoustic imaging

After a lightning strike, thunder can be heard for a short period of time afterward. This is due to the fact that the surrounding material that was struck by lightning absorbs the light, and as a result of the conversion of this light into heat, the material expands and produces a sound.

Discovery of new structure in the egg cells of zebrafish could provide insights into human reproduction

It is humbling to realize that we humans share about 70% of our genes with zebrafish. There are also a whole host of other similarities that make these small transparent fish an ideal animal model for the study of many human diseases and biological processes.

UCLouvain discovery could counter SARS-CoV-2 virus independently of the mutations

Despite the effectiveness of vaccination campaigns worldwide, the threat posed by Covid-19 still exists. First of all, a new SARS-CoV-2 variant could very well emerge that may not respond to current vaccines.

New method enables the structural analysis of RNA molecules

We live in a world made and run by RNA, the equally important sibling of the genetic molecule DNA. In fact, evolutionary biologists hypothesize that RNA existed and self-replicated even before the appearance of DNA and the proteins encoded by it.
