Research shows that volcanic eruptions can create plasma bubbles in the ionosphere, significantly disrupting satellite communication. These findings prompt revisions to the current models on…
Nagoya University researchers have synthesized the thinnest-ever BaTiO3 nanosheets at 1.8 nm, overcoming the “size effect” issue and retaining ferroelectric properties. This breakthrough enables the…
Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan, under a project commissioned by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), have created poly(styrenesulfonic acid)-based PEMs…
The 3D scanning of the mysterious fossil may have finally settled the argument about its classification as either a vertebrate or an invertebrate. The Tully…
CRISPR-Cas9 is a prevalent genome-editing technique utilized for investigating specific genes and modifying genes related to diseases. However, it comes with drawbacks such as unintended…
According to a study published in Cell Death & Disease, scientists at Nagoya University in Japan have discovered two enzymes that play a role in…
Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is a common form of dementia that currently has no cure. Previous research has suggested that the gut microbiome, or…
A team from Nagoya University in Japan has observed, for the first time, the energy transferring from resonant electrons to whistler-mode waves in space. Their…
Scientists have successfully conducted the world’s first room-temperature continuous-wave lasing of a deep-ultraviolet laser diode (wavelengths down to UV-C region). These results represent a step…
Crops often grow under unfavorable conditions. Factors such as disease, extreme temperatures, and salty soils force plants to use energy to respond to the resulting…
The flowering and seeding of dwarf bamboo were shown to boost mice populations. Japanese field mice thrive in the large-scale flowering, seeding, and dying of…
Japanese children develop their manner of walking differently from children in other countries. Researchers discovered that the way Japanese children walk, or their gait, develops…
Scientists investigated the nature of dark matter surrounding galaxies seen as they were 12 billion years ago, billions of years further back in time than…
Vitamin D can effectively block a key pathway used by ovarian cancer Among all cancers, ovarian cancer has one of the highest mortality rates. This…
Scientists have constructed the first belt-shaped molecular nanocarbon with a twisted Möbius band topology—a Möbius carbon nanobelt—that paves the way for the development of nanocarbon…
What the new Jurassic Park movie gets wrong: Aerodynamic analysis causes a rethink of the biggest pterosaur. One of the most exciting moments of Jurassic…
Superconductors are materials that conduct electrical current with almost no electrical resistance at all. This property makes them particularly appealing for a variety of applications,…
Ancient Chinese writing mentions a celestial phenomenon that turns out to be the oldest known reference to a potential aurora, predating the next oldest by…
