Stanford Health Care gave us exclusive access to show how coronavirus antibody testing works. So we followed two caregivers and their blood, through the testing process.
Supercomputers aid researchers in hunt for COVID-19 answers
May 8, 2020
The computing power of more than a million laptops combined. That's the firepower a network of NSF-supported supercomputing resources brings to the fight against COVID-19. From atomic scale models of the virus' structure, to modeling the spread of the virus in enclosed spaces, these powerful, high-performance resources are helping facilitate COVID-19 research, and possible solutions, faster than ever before!
The 10 minute smartphone sanitizer
May 11, 2020
This is the smartphone sanitizer that uses safe ultraviolet light to destroy up to 99.9% of viruses, germs, and bacteria in under 10 minutes. Using the same technology trusted to sterilize hospital instruments, it disinfects smartphones (which contain an average of 10 times the amount of germs and bacteria than a public restroom) by eliminating microorganisms such as Streptococcus, E. coli, and Salmonella. This device employs two UV bulbs inside the case that are rated for 20,000 hours and emit germicidal light. With wireless charging, USB port, and an aromatherapy feature.

Animation: Why is body temperature tracking important during COVID-19?
May 13, 2020
Because of COVID-19, workplace temperature screening is becoming more common at both large employers, like Amazon and Walmart, and small businesses. This coronavirus animation explains how tracking your body temperature can provide early warnings of fever and infection.
How is the world working towards a Coronavirus vaccine?
May 13, 2020
Hundreds of countries, companies and organisations are working together around the world in the hunt for a vaccine to solve the COVID-19 pandemic.
We hear from Dr Seth Barkley (CEO, GAVI), Stéphane Bancel (CEO, Moderna Theraputics) and Paul Stoffels (Chief Science Officer, Johnson & Johnson) about the challenges being faced.
All were speaking as part of the World Economic Forum's COVID Action Platform.
What is a coronavirus? - Elizabeth Cox
May 14, 2020
Dig into the science of coronaviruses and find out how they cause diseases such as SARS, MERS, and COVID-19.
For almost a decade, scientists chased the source of a deadly new virus through China’s tallest mountains and most isolated caverns. They finally found it in the bats of Shitou Cave. The virus in question was a coronavirus that caused an epidemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, in 2003. So what exactly is a coronavirus, and how does it spread? Elizabeth Cox explains.
Lesson by Elizabeth Cox, directed by Anton Bogaty.
3D model of the SARS-CoV-2 virus at atomic resolution
May 11, 2020
"Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2: scientifically accurate 3D model"Biomedical visualization studio Visual Science has created the most detailed and scientifically accurate 3D model of the SARS-CoV-2 virus at atomic resolution. The model is based on the latest scientific research into the structure of coronaviruses, as well as input from expert virologists involved in the research. This is the most accurate model of the SARS-CoV-2 viral particle currently available. To produce it, Visual Science employed the same techniques of structural bioinformatics used in basic research and drug development.
The SARS-CoV-2 virus model is a part of Visual Science's non-commercial Viral Park project. Viral Park's past successes include models of HIV, influenza A/H1N1, Ebola, papilloma, and Zika virions.
We use the same color scheme throughout the whole Viral Park project. Bright colors show the proteins encoded by the viral genome. Shades of gray correspond to the structures taken by virus from the host cell. Thus we emphasize the parasitic and non-autonomous nature of the viruses.
