Capturing hidden data for asymptomatic COVID-19 cases provides a better pandemic picture

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Asymptomatic COVID-19 cases are the bane of computer modelers’ existences--they throw off the modeling data to an unknown degree. You can’t measure what you can’t detect, right? A new approach from Los Alamos National Laboratory’s Theoretical Division, however, explores using historic epidemic data from eight different countries to estimate the transmission rate and fraction of under-reported cases.

Perovskite research advances offer new possibilities for devices such as solar cells

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory

Perovskite materials are low-cost, solution-processable semiconductors that can absorb and convert solar energy with extraordinarily high efficiencies, making them promising material for use in applications such as photovoltaic solar cells – if the material can be made stable and efficient.

Tracking the cells that host HIV

DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

New research sheds light on the lifespans and location of the cells that are responsible for producing HIV, preventing its eradication. Understanding the cells’ dynamics may help scientists develop new ways to reduce their number with the ultimate goal of curing HIV infection.
