This year the theme was Lingnan's Transformation into the Digital Era. Weekly News Bites: Speaking plant, sinking cities, and sensitive systems By Asia Research News Asia Research News monitors the latest research news in Asia. Some highlights that caught our attention this week are an AI model trained on 'plant-speak', how greedy groundwater use is making cities sink, and a lidar system that could find a needle in a very large haystack. How Cells Repair DNA's Protective Barrier: A pathway to address a rare genetic disorder characterized by rapid aging in children By Kanazawa University Researchers at Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, have discovered how a protein called lamin A helps repair the protective barrier around a cell's DNA. Low adoption of solar tech not just due to cost, Ateneo study finds By Ateneo de Manila University Installers' credibility, product quality, financing options, and long-term benefits hold equal weight in consumers' minds when it comes to solar power. The Great Ripple - How a Tsunami Can Disrupt Global Trade By Tohoku University Tsunamis can cause immense physical damage to ports, but the economic cost does not stop there. The resultant disruptions of shipping lanes result in billions of dollars in losses every day, as was seen in the 2011 tsunami that hit the Tohoku Region. Climate- and land use change threaten traditional food sources in Russia's Far East By Hokkaido University The distribution of traditional wild food sources in the Republic of Sakha could change significantly, affecting the diets and incomes of Indigenous rural communities who depend on them. Faster, safer complex head and neck reconstruction with preserved blood supply tissue By Osaka Metropolitan University Enhanced pedicled latissimus dorsi flap technique achieves 100% success rate in high-risk head and neck reconstruction Ligand-Engineered Copper Nanoclusters Could Help Combat CO₂ Emissions By Tohoku University We might all be able to breathe a bit easier thanks to copper nanoclusters that can help us reduce carbon emissions through an electrochemical reaction. Exploring Microtubule Lattice at Submolecular Resolution By Kanazawa University In a study recently published in the journal Nano Letters, published by American Chemical Society, researchers from Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, Kanazawa, Japan, used frequency-modulated atomic force microscopy to reveal the submolecular structure of microtubule (M Deep-sea hydrothermal vent bacteria hold key to understanding nitrous oxide reduction By Hokkaido University Scientists unearth a clue to the molecular mechanisms involved in N2O reduction by deep-sea hydrothermal vent bacteria. Ugh, my stomach: Identifying amino acids that prevent sporulation in food poisoning By Osaka Metropolitan University Amino acid serine inhibits Clostridium perfringens spore formation Researchers Harness Copper Versatility to Enable Control of CO₂ Reduction Products By Tohoku University Just like we recycle waste, repurposing excess CO₂ from the atmosphere could be one way to abate the worsening climate crisis. In electrochemical reduction, CO₂ is converted into industrial products like carbon monoxide, methane, or ethanol. Advancing the synthesis of two-dimensional gold monolayers By Hokkaido University Nanostructured two-dimensional gold monolayers offer possibilities in catalysis, electronics, and nanotechnology. New Algorithm Boosts Multitasking in Quantum Machine Learning By Tohoku University When a quantum computer processes data, it must translate it into understandable quantum data. Algorithms that carry out this 'quantum compilation' typically optimize one target at a time. However, a team led by Tohoku University's Dr. Nature inspires self-assembling helical polymer By Hiroshima University Helical structures are ubiquitous across biology, from the double-stranded helix of DNA to how heart muscle cells spiral in a band. Inspired by this twisty ladder, researchers have developed an artificial polymer that organizes itself into a controlled helix. Little Laser, Big Breakthrough: Compact device for high-efficiency VUV light generation unveiled By Osaka University A research team at Osaka University developed a compact microresonator device that generates vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) light at 199 nm. This innovation addresses the growing demand for VUV light in fields like micromachining and wafer inspection. Lingnan University's research projects win three awards in the 4th Asia Exhibition of Innovations and Inventions Hong Kong By Lingnan University (LU) Lingnan University participated for the first time in the 4th Asia Exhibition of Innovations and Inventions Hong Kong (AEII) held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from 5 to 6 December.
