Two researchers at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville have discovered a chemical compound that may be the cure to stop the coronavirus and prevent it from spreading, if it passes more testing.
According to WATE-TV in Knoxville, Tennessee, the two researchers have been working on the possible cure by using the “world’s most powerful computer” through a partnership between the University of Tennessee and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).
The “world’s most powerful computer”, known as ‘Summit’, works as fast as 100,000 laptops at the same time.
“It’s capable of doing calculations very, very, quickly. The response to the new coronavirus needs to be quick,” said Jeremy Smith, Director of the Center for Molecular Biophysics.
