WaterPuzzle: An Educational Activity Using a 3D-Printable Magnetic Molecular Model to Explore Hydrogen Bonding, Ice Crystals, and Hydration of Molecules

Abstract Understanding hydrogen bonding and molecular interactions in water is crucial for various scientific disciplines, including chemistry, physics, and biology. While molecular models incorporating magnets to simulate hydrogen bonding have been previously introduced, their p...

Nelson Bay Orthoreovirus cell attachment protein σC determines strain-specific differences in infectivity and pathogenesis

Nelson Bay orthoreovirus (NBV) was initially discovered in a bat sample but has since been isolated from patients with acute respiratory tract diseases. Accumulating reports of NBV isolation from patients with respiratory tract viral infections suggest that NBV is able to transmi...
