Einstein was no stranger to mathematical challenges. He struggled to define energy in a way that acknowledged both the law of energy conservation and covariance,…
In the global race to curb climate change and reduce carbon emissions, hydrogen is considered a serious contender to replace fossil fuels. Although hydrogen ‘burns’…
Kyoto University examines the lack of size diversity in rabbits and hares. Next to cat videos, watching small and cuddly rabbits is probably one of…
Researchers have found a way to enhance radiation therapy using novel iodine nanoparticles. Cancer cell death is triggered within three days when X-rays are shone…
A design concept changes how materials separate gaseous mixtures. A more energy-efficient method improves how an industrial gas is purified by reversing the traditional process….
Antibody for USAG-1 shown to stimulate tooth growth. The tooth fairy is a welcome guest for any child who has lost a tooth. Not only…
An ‘eat-me’ signal displayed on cell surfaces requires activation of a lipid-scrambling protein by a nuclear protein fragment. Scientists at the Institute for Integrated Cell-Material…
Using Strain to Control Oxynitride Properties A chance discovery leads to a simple process that can introduce ‘oxygen-missing layers’ into perovskite oxynitrides, changing their properties….
Scientists have found an ingredient that makes a vaccine more effective through an approach more often seen in materials science — testing molecules that self-assemble…
Beginning with the Bronze Age, metal alloys have changed civilizations. The latest alloy iteration is nanosized high-entropy alloys, or HEA. In the Journal of American…
Cells work around the clock to deliver, maintain, and control every aspect of life. And just as with humans, communication is a key to their…
KyotoU’s new Seimei telescope detects enormous ‘superflare’ on nearby star The cold, dark chaos of space is filled with mystery. Fortunately, the ways in which…
River water, lake water, and seawater contain DNA belonging to organisms such as animals and plants. Ecologists have begun to actively analyze such DNA molecules,…
A staple in every science classroom is the periodic table of elements, and for many it is their first introduction to the vast mysteries of…
Hydrogen fuel cells made with coordination polymer glass membranes could produce as much energy as their liquid-based counterparts while adding strength and flexibility. Scientists at…
“Like a frog stared down by a snake,” goes an old Japanese expression, describing an animal petrified with fear. However, it now seems that this…
Molecular changes could improve the efficiency of next-generation photovoltaics. A molecular tweak has improved organic solar cell performance, bringing us closer to cheaper, efficient, and…
