Harnessing Heat: Metal-Organic Frameworks Enable Efficient Hydrogen Peroxide Production By National Taiwan University Researchers have developed metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that efficiently produce hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) using small temperature differences, offering a sustainable approach to chemical production. Developing the Inherent Functionality of Highly Pure Porous Organic Polymers By Tohoku University Soaking up pollutants like a sponge, porous organic polymers (POPs) may be the key to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, according to researchers at Tohoku University. Security veins: Advanced biometric authentication through AI and infrared By Osaka Metropolitan University Hyperspectral imaging and AI can identify individuals using blood vessels in palms Translating citizen input into urban action By Singapore University of Technology and Design A new framework formulated by SUTD researchers helps ensure digital citizen participation does not just end with feedback collection, but translates into real-world urban decisions. Controlling Electrons in Molecules at Ultrafast Timescales By YOKOHAMA National University Scientists have found a way to control electrons in molecules using tailor-made terahertz light pulses, offering new possibilities for advanced technologies. Tiny "rhinoceros beetle" robot does micro-scale manipulation in extreme conditions By YOKOHAMA National University Until now, when looking for a robot, the choice was between one that was autonomous and cordless, one that enabled high-precision manipulation, and one that could be used in extreme real-world environments. The HB-3 robot is the first that ticks all boxes. Lingnan University in Hong Kong co-launches Bi-Loop food waste processing pilot programme to convert pre-meal food waste into organic feed By Lingnan University (LU) Food waste accounts for about 30 per cent of Hong Kong's municipal solid waste in landfills, negatively impacting environmental ecology and wasting recyclable organic materials. Urban exodus during the COVID-19 pandemic By Osaka Metropolitan University Life-course perspective of households with children Hepatitis B with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: increased risk in mortality By National Taiwan University Concurrent steatotic liver disease (SLD) is prevalent among patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB); however, the effects of the associated cardiometabolic risk factors on all-cause and cause-specific mortality remain unknown. Smoking While Pregnant Rips the Placenta Away: Second-Hand Smoke Doubles the Risk By Tohoku University Researchers at Tohoku University have found one more reason to quit smoking: the inhalation of first-hand and/or second-hand smoke may lead to placental abruption in pregnant mothers. Building bridges in physics By Osaka University Researchers at Osaka University show that Cartan's First Structure Equation, which relates to edge and screw dislocations in crystal lattices, can be recast in the same form as a basic mathematical formula that governs the behavior of electric currents and magnetic fields. Women experts in science and research from Asia: Updated resource By Asia Research News For International Women's Day, we have prepared a list of women experts who have agreed to share their expertise with journalists. Their expertise include AI, astronomy, medicine and public health, sustainability, women's rights, and more. Motion capture: In world 1st, M. mobile's motility apparatus clarified By Osaka Metropolitan University Cryo-electron microscopy reveals molecular structure of twin motors that power mycoplasma's ability to glide The math behind social distancing: the rules that influence epidemic behavior By Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo (UTokyo-IIS) Researchers from the Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo, have found a surprisingly simple way of understanding social-distancing behavior during an epidemic. High-dose psilocybin showed antidepressant effects, but the results fell short of prior studies By National Taiwan University This study questions recent claims about the rapid effectiveness of psychedelic drugs for treating depression. Among all psychedelics, only high-dose psilocybin showed greater effectiveness than the placebo in antidepressant trials and outperformed escitalopram. Uncovering the protein complex critical to male fertility By Osaka University Researchers from Osaka University found that TEX38 and ZDHHC19 co-localize on the plasma membrane of spermatids and mediate S-palmitoylation of ARRDC5, a crucial protein for spermatogenesis. Profiles of 313 organohalogen compounds as habitat indicators of 11 toothed whale species By Ehime University Comprehensive screening analysis of organohalogen compounds in blubber samples of 11 toothed whale species stranded on Japanese coasts revealed species-specific accumulation profiles, with a total of over 300 organohalogen compounds detected. AI Revolutionizes Glaucoma Care: Tohoku University Develops Specialist-Level Screening System By Tohoku University Glaucoma is called the "silent thief of sight" as many don't notice until significant, irreversible vision loss has already occurred. A revolutionary early screening tool using AI may stop this thief dead in its tracks. Comprehensive Evaluation of Various CO2 Capture Technologies through Rigorous Simulation: Economic, Equipment Footprint, and Environmental Analysis By National Taiwan University Eight CO2 capture processes were evaluated in terms of economics, environmental impact, and equipment footprint, based on rigorous modeling.
