Despite tremendous efforts in the past two years, our understanding of severe acute
respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), virus–host interactions, immune …

Virus irradiation has been performed for many decades for basic research studies,
sterilization, and vaccine development. The COVID-19 outbreak is currently causing an …

Mass spectrometry of intact nanoparticles and viruses can serve as a potent characterization
tool for material science and biophysics. Inaccessible by widespread commercial …

The COVID-19 pandemic has made clear the need for effective and rapid vaccine
development methods. Conventional inactivated virus vaccines, together with new …

The world is still suffering from the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, and the number of infected
people is still growing in many countries in 2022. Although great strides have been made to …

Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are promising radiosensitizers for cancer radiotherapy.
Moreover, they can be used in the same way for radiation processing and sterilization. Such …

Irradiation of foods and fruits by ionizing radiation effectively eliminates pathogenic
microorganisms primarily present on the surface. Recently, much attention has been paid to …

Here we show an interplay between the structures present in ionization tracks and
nucleocapsid RNA structural biology, using fast ion-beam inactivation of the severe acute …

In this research, the Omicron variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus was simulated and exposed to
electron radiation with up to 20 keV energy. Absorbed energy was measured for spike …

Abstract Mechanistic Monte Carlo simulations calculating DNA damage caused by ionizing
radiation are highly dependent on the simulation parameters. In the present study, using the …
