A foray into the theory of mechanochemical reaction rates By Hokkaido University A new theory predicts one of the effects of macroscopic mechanical forces on mechanochemical organic synthesis by a ball mill. How the Humble Spinning Wheel Became a Symbol of India's Freedom Struggle By MAP Academy From an ancient Buddhist symbol representing the wheel of law to an enduring icon of self-reliance and resistance in the early twentieth century, the charkha, a hand-driven spinning wheel, and the chakra, the flat-spoked wheel with which it is often conflated, have lived many lives in South Asia. Unlocking the secrets to a longer, healthier life By Duke-NUS Medical School At Duke-NUS Medical School scientists are pioneering breakthroughs in precision medicine and regenerative therapies, targeting everything from muscle loss to dramatically extending our years of health. The hunt for single-electron bonds By Hokkaido University A century-old theory proposed by Nobel laureate Linus Pauling has been proven by scientists in Japan. AI predicts the properties of polymers By National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) The algorithm uses data from existing materials to accurately predict the strength and flexibility of new unknown polymers. Pushing the needle towards greener, safer transport Three researchers at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU) are pioneering diverse technologies for greener, safer, and more efficient transport. Shape matters By Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) Ultrasound charging for biomedical devices penetrates the body better and researchers have shown that the receiver's shape improves energy transfer. The elephant on the wall Inspired by elephants, researchers grow fungus in elephant-skin patterns to create better insulation for buildings. Kirigami hydrogels rise from cellulose film By National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) Nanopapers that swell into larger 3D structures pave the path towards designs of intelligent materials like robotic sensors and tissue engineering. Solving climate mysteries with corals By Hokkaido University Tsuyoshi Watanabe uses corals to understand the environment of the past and what it can tell us about people living then. Sensing shape without touch By National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) Touch sensors for robots and bionic applications can now work from 100 mm away, offering new sensitivity for 3D recognition and wireless data transmission. A wrinkle for light By National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) A new model for light emission from ultrathin materials could ease the development of photonic devices and quantum technology. Knowledge for the excluded By International Development Research Centre (IDRC) An inclusive Myanmar must include all voices. One voice is from the Rohingya, who have faced persecution for many years. New twist to gecko-inspired robots By National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) The sticky secret of a gecko's foot has inspired scientists to develop robots that can pick up and release fragile objects without damage. A new spin on materials By National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) Electron spin states can now be efficiently explored at much higher resolution, opening new opportunities for faster electronics including quantum computers. Travelling back to the early Universe By Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU) Astronomer John Silverman works just outside of Tokyo but spends his days with some of the world's biggest telescopes in Hawaii, Chile, and space to study the earliest black holes in the Universe. How viruses exit cells By National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) A newly designed model system simulates how viruses exit cells, offering potential advancements in targeted drug delivery and biotechnology. Iron and gas therapy for oral cancer By National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) A new treatment with iron nanoparticles and nitric oxide gas shows promise in destroying oral cancer cells.
