What do you Know about Novel Corona Virus and Viruses ?

What is COVID-19? 
COVID-19 is a disease caused by a new strain of coronavirus. ‘CO’ stands for corona, ‘VI’ for virus, and ‘D’ for disease. Formerly, this disease was referred to as ‘2019 novel coronavirus’ or ‘2019-nCoV.’
The COVID-19 virus is a new virus linked to the same family of viruses as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and some types of common cold.
What are the symptoms of COVID-19? 
Symptoms can include fever, cough and shortness of breath. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia or breathing difficulties. More rarely, the disease can be fatal. These symptoms are similar to the flu (influenza) or the common cold, which are a lot more common than COVID-19. This is why testing is required to confirm if someone has COVID-19.

Virtual Chemistry and Simulations

Chemistry moves from the lab and the classroom to the computer, as working in a virtual chemistry laboratory and viewing simulations provide additional ways of learning chemistry. Next-Generation Molecular Workbench Visual, Interactive Simulations for Teaching & Learning Science For Chemistry Beginners:- PhET Interactive Simulations PhET, based at the University of Colorado at Boulder, offers over three dozen chemistry-based simulations. Users can search by subject and grade level. Many have been translated into different languages. Chemistry Solutions: Featured Simulations Each issue of Chemistry Solutions , the periodical of the American Association of Chemistry Teachers, contains a simulation. This page collects and describes simulations from past issues. MERLOT Simulation Collection The Multimedia Educational Resource for Learning and Online Teaching (MERLOT) at the California State University has collected descriptions and links to a huge numbe...

AI and Machine Learning in Chemistry: Revolutionizing Discovery and Innovation

AI and Machine Learning in Chemistry: Revolutionizing Discovery and Innovation by Anil Kumar ,Assistant Professor, Department of Chemistry,A.S. College,Deoghar The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) into the field of chemistry is catalyzing a transformation in research, development, and applications. By leveraging vast amounts of data, these technologies are enabling chemists to accelerate discoveries, optimize processes, and uncover new insights that were previously beyond reach. This blog post explores the pivotal role of AI and ML in chemistry, highlighting their applications, benefits, and future potential. Accelerating Drug Discovery One of the most significant impacts of AI and ML in chemistry is in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly in drug discovery. Traditional drug discovery is a lengthy, expensive, and complex process that involves sifting through massive amounts of chemical compounds to identify potential candidates for drug develop...
