asus-is-taking-its-gold-nvidia-geforce-rtx-obsession-to-new,-ridiculous-heights

Asus is obsessed with throwing gold onto its ROG Astral RTX 5000 graphics cards, with the latest example being this new RTX 5090 Real Gold Edition. If you thought the 6.5g of 24-carat gold on the Dhahab Edition card was over the top, this new card has a preposterous 5kg of 24-carat gold incorporated into the design, including the backplate, frame, and outer shell.

While the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 maintains the top spot on our guide to buying the best graphics card for its sheer power,  » Read More

Scientists discover compounds that help cells fight a wide range of viruses

scientists-discover-compounds-that-help-cells-fight-a-wide-range-of-viruses

Researchers at MIT and other institutions have identified compounds that can fight off viral infection by activating a defense pathway inside host cells. These compounds, they believe, could be used as antiviral drugs that work against not just one but any kind of virus.

The researchers identified these compounds, which activate a host cell defense system known as the integrated stress response pathway, in a screen of nearly 400,000 molecules. In tests in human cells, the researchers showed that the compounds help cells fend off infection from RSV, herpes virus, and Zika virus. They also proved effective in combating herpes infection in a mouse model.

The research team now plans to test the compounds against additional viruses, in hopes of developing them for eventual clinical trials.

“We’re very excited about this work, which allows us to harness the stress response of the host cells to arrive at a means to identify and develop broad-spectrum antivirals,” says James Collins, the Termeer Professor of Medical Engineering and Science in MIT’s Institute for Medical Engineering and Science (IMES) and Department of Biological Engineering.
