A Self-Tuning Device That Turns Vibrations into Power By National Taiwan University Researchers at National Taiwan University developed a new device that captures energy from vibrations more efficiently. Its self-adjusting mechanism enables resonance with environmental frequencies, resulting in higher power output across a broader operational range. ViFT: Perimetry AI for Reducing Test Time and High Accuracy By Ehime University Perimetry (visual field testing) quantifies a patient's retinal sensitivity to light and clarifies a deviation from normal retinal sensitivity. Visual field tests generally require high patient concentration, which can be exhausted. Researchers develop novel approach for experimentally measuring the Unruh effect with high accuracy By Hiroshima University Solves a long-standing challenge in fundamental physics Lingnan University scholar co-develops breakthrough in fast-charging sodium batteries - findings published in leading international journal By Lingnan University Lithium batteries are widely used in electric vehicles and electronic products, but concerns are growing about their environmental impact during mining and disposal. New tool automates cell identification in complex datasets By The University of Osaka An international research group led by The University of Osaka has developed scODIN, a novel computational tool to classify cell types from single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data. Existing methods struggle to balance speed and accuracy, often misclassifying rare or transitional cells. Assessing the long-range impacts of the 2023 Canadian wildfires By Springer Nature Around 354 million people in North America and Europe are likely to have been affected by fine particulate matter pollution from the 2023 Canadian wildfire season, a new study suggests. A long fluid history for near-Earth asteroid Ryugu's parent By Springer Nature Fluids may have flowed within the parent body of the near-Earth asteroid Ryugu more than one billion years after it formed, according to research published in Nature. Breaking the code of sperm motion: Two proteins found to be vital for male fertility By The University of Osaka Researchers from The University of Osaka found that the radial spoke protein CFAP91 is crucial for flagellum formation in sperm, and that the proximal protein EFCAB5 is important for sperm motility. DGIST Graduate School of Technology Management to Recruit New Students for November Admission – Accelerating the Development of Global Technology Management Leaders By Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) Cultivating top talent for the global high-tech industry through integrated education in engineering and management Mysterious electrons behaving between electrons and photons By Ehime University 【Intriguing behavior of such electrons in particular materials produced by chemical synthesis】 Unpaired electrons located at linear band dispersion (LBD) are exceptional and called Dirac electrons (DE).
