But one in particular has caused concern in the United States because it’s so contagious and spreading fast. To avoid it, you’ll …

At the heart of each coronavirus is its genome, a twisted strand of nearly 30,000 “letters” of RNA. These genetic instructions force infected human cells to assemble up to 29 kinds of proteins that help the coronavirus multiply and spread.

1 of 7 The first case of a highly contagious coronavirus variant originally discovered in Britain was found in the United States, detected in a young man living in this state: Alabama California Colorado Florida 2 of 7 This state became the first to surpass two million coronavirus cases: Texas …

Researchers warn that the British variant is so contagious that new control measures, including closing down schools and universities, may be necessary. A team of British scientists released a worrying study on Wednesday of the new coronavirus variant sweeping the United Kingdom. They warned that the variant is so contagious …

Pico Interactive is making its Neo 2 line of standalone headsets available worldwide. The base model is $ 700, while an eye-tracking variant powered by Tobii is $ 900. We tried both models at CES in January and while the eye-tracking wasn’t perfect in the early demo, it also worked without calibration …
