Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers report that a prospective study of 14 infants and children demonstrated that convalescent plasma -- a blood product collected from patients recovered from infections with the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that…

For more than 60 years, scientists have sought to understand and control the process of fusion, a quest to harness the vast amounts of energy released when nuclei in fuel come together. A paper published today in the journal Nature…

Giving hospitalised Covid patients blood plasma transfusions from virus survivors may cut their risk of dying after all, scientists now say. Medics had hoped infusions of convalescent plasma — a straw-coloured fluid in the blood that…

Transfusions of blood plasma donated by people who have already recovered from infection with the pandemic virus may help other patients hospitalized with COVID-19, a new international study shows. The treatment, known as convalescent…

It could hardly be more complicated: tiny particles whir around wildly with extremely high energy, countless interactions occur in the tangled mess of quantum particles, and this results in a state of matter known as "quark-gluon plasma."…

In the first millionths of a second after the Big Bang, the universe was a roiling, trillion-degree plasma of quarks and gluons -- elementary particles that briefly glommed together in countless combinations before cooling and settling into…

In a new study published in Physical Review Letters, researchers from Japan show that high-frequency plasma waves in the Geospace can generate low-frequency plasma waves through wave-particle interactions by heating up low-energy ions,…

Scientists have derived a theory on how geomagnetic storms can threaten life on earth by using data from ESA’s Cluster and Swarm missions. Life on Earth depends on the bubble…

Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science (CEMS) and the RIKEN Cluster for Pioneering Research (CPR) in Japan have developed a technique to improve the flexibility of ultra-thin electronics, such as those used in bendable…

COVID-19 convalescent plasma showed a likely benefit for patients early in the pandemic before remdesivir and corticosteroids were in use, according to results of a landmark study published today in JAMA Internal Medicine that included…
