Solid-solution organic crystals have been brought into the quest for superior photon upconversion materials, which transform presently wasted long-wavelength light into more useful shorter wavelength…
Plastics have taken the world by storm over the last century, finding applications in virtually every aspect of our lives. However, the rise of these…
Ammonia, a carbon-free resource can be split into nitrogen and hydrogen gas with the help of metal catalysts like Nickel (Ni). However, these reactions often…
One of the key aspects of academic and industrial research today is non-destructive imaging, a technique in which an object or sample is imaged (using…
Upcoming Solar System exploration missions will search for extraterrestrial (ET) life, but ET life may not be like Earth life; a new mass spectrometry analysis…
Scientists at the Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) provide deeper insights into neural thirst control. Their study published recently in Nature Communications indicates that…
In modern times, manufacturers produce highly specialized materials for a wide array of uses, called polymers. Polymers have a variety of purposes owing to their…
Scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) discover a mechanism in antiferromagnets that could be useful for spintronic devices. They theoretically and experimentally demonstrate…
The idea that mass extinctions allow many new types of species to evolve is a central concept in evolution, but a new study using artificial…
At the heart of many past scientific breakthroughs lies the discovery of novel materials. However, the cycle of synthesizing, testing, and optimizing new materials routinely…
Scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) synthesize sub-nanometer particles with precisely controlled proportions of indium and tin using specific macromolecular templates called dendrimers….
Earth-Life Science Institute scientists find that small highly branched polymers that may have formed spontaneously on early Earth can mimic modern biological protein enzyme function….
Scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) and Yokohama National University (YNU) uncover the peculiar mechanism by which spin perturbations travel through a seemingly…
Earth’s Moon has a ‘near side’ that is perpetually Earth-facing and a ‘far side’, which always faces away from Earth. The composition of the Moon’s…
Researchers at the Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) and NEC Corporation have jointly developed a 28 GHz phased-array[1] transceiver supporting dual-polarized MIMO[2] for fifth-generation…
Uranus’ strange axis of rotation and the unusual properties of its moons and ring system are likely due to an ancient giant icy impact. The…
New study finds surface waters on early Mars may have been habitable for microbial life. Presently, Earth is the only known location where life exists…
Methane is present in the natural gas that is very abundant in the earth’s crust and has found many uses in modern applications, mainly as…
