Hokkaido University, located in Sapporo, Japan, is a top university that has achieved feats such as the first artificial induction of cancer and having two Nobel Laureates as either alumni or staff. Read more about the breakthroughs in biology, geology, chemistry, and physics done by the researchers at Hokkaido University.
An automated reaction path search method can predict the accurate stereochemistry of pericyclic reactions using only the structure of the target product molecule. The Institute…
New insights into the opposing actions of serotonin-producing nerve fibers in mice could lead to drugs for treating addictions and major depression. Scientists in Japan…
A new model explains that water evaporating from the Arctic Ocean due to a warming climate is transported south and can lead to increased snowfall…
