Researchers at Dalhousie University have developed a material that can be used to easily and cost-effectively produce filters for use in personal protective masks that can neutralize certain pathogens, such as some coronaviruses and flus.

In a new paper in Nature Aging, Dalhousie University scientists describe how people accumulate health deficits with age, how that information can be used to understand aging better and what it means for public policy.

Researchers at Dalhousie University, University of Liverpool, GEOMAR in Kiel, and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography have come up with a new framework to look at phytoplankton growth in the ocean. Phytoplankton growth can be thought of like a factory: materials come into the factory and are processed on assembly lines, forming the final product. For phytoplankton, this product is growing faster, and they rearrange their "cellular assembly lines" to grow fast.
