But measuring this viscosity has been notoriously difficult, with scientists often relying on model membranes. Physically cold, mentally strained By Osaka Metropolitan University Combined effects of body cooling and mental fatigue hinder endurance performance Annual deaths from wildfire smoke projected to increase By Springer Nature Increases in wildfires, linked to projected future climate change, are expected to cause a notable increase in premature deaths, according to two new modelling studies. Achalasia diagnosis simplified to AI plus X-ray By Osaka Metropolitan University Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have developed an AI model for diagnosing esophageal achalasia using chest X-rays. The AI model demonstrated higher sensitivity and specificity than physicians in its diagnostic capability. Elongation and compression of Fe-Fe atomic pairs in ferromagnetic Fe-Ni alloys By Ehime University Element-selective atomic-scale observations of the magnetovolume effect in ferromagnetic Fe-Ni fcc-based alloys Researchers uncover how galaxies and their black holes grew 12.9 billion light years ago By Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU) A team of researchers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to discover 12 ancient black holes from 12.9 billion years ago, providing evidence that the activity of supermassive black holes may have played a significant role in the evolutionary process of the earliest and fastest-growing galaxies Lingnan University honours 55 distinguished scholars with Research and Knowledge Transfer Excellence Awards By Lingnan University Lingnan University held its Research and Knowledge Transfer Excellence Awards Presentation Ceremony 2025 yesterday, 17 September, honouring 55 faculty members for their outstanding contributions to academic research and knowledge transfer, advancing community well-being and societal progress during Thermal trigger By Kanazawa University Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, report in ACS Nano, how proteins in cells can be controllably activated through heating, an effect that can be used to initiate programmed cell death. Lingnan University President S. Joe Qin welcomes Hong Kong SAR Chief Executive's 2025 Policy Address By Lingnan University Lingnan University President and Wai Kee Kau Chair Professor of Data Science, Prof S. Joe Qin, welcomed the 2025 Policy Address delivered by Chief Executive, Mr John Lee, highlighting a series of education-related policy initiatives as follows: Researchers use computer simulations to show how future Moon missions could uncover dark matter By Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU) New research shows how faint radio signals from the early Universe, soon to be detected by Moon missions, could reveal dark matter's secrets. Computer simulations revealed how gas cooled and formed clumps through gravitational interactions with dark matter during the cosmic Dark Ages. Novel philosophical framework rethinks the ethics of disability By Hiroshima University Japanese scholars submit a nuanced view linking diverse disability experiences Lingnan University's CREW Intelligent Wheelchair Control System wins 'Top 10 Technological Innovation Award' at the First Shenzhen Health & Elderly Care Robotics Competition By Lingnan University The CREW Intelligent Wheelchair Control System, developed by the Humanitarian Technology team of the Lingnan Entrepreneurship Initiative (LEI) of Lingnan University, won the "Top 10 Technological Innovation Award" at the "Shenzhen International Intelligent Elderly Care Industry Expo 'Industrial Bank Integrated metabolic analysis reveals cancer's energy secrets By The University of Osaka Researchers at The University of Osaka and Kanazawa University have developed a novel method for analyzing cancer metabolism, revealing new insights into cancer's inefficient energy process. New funding for research on advancing inclusion in healthcare systems across Asia Researchers in Vietnam, Thailand, India and the UK have been awarded more than £4 million by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) to identify and evaluate inclusive methods of healthcare provision. Low Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Levels Signal Minimal Liver Cancer Risk, Redefining "Partial Cure" By National Taiwan University Researchers from National Taiwan University Hospital and Academia Sinica have identified a simple blood marker that can reliably pinpoint chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients at negligible risk of developing liver cancer.
