How an alga makes the most of dim light By Osaka Metropolitan University Researchers discovered that a freshwater alga captures low-energy far-red light by precisely arranging ordinary chlorophyll molecules, rather than inventing new pigments. Comprehensive Digital Materials Ecosystem Streamlines Material Design By Tohoku University This invited publication highlights the contributions of Distinguished Professor Hao Li to AI and materials science – focusing on their original concept for a digital materials ecosystem. Inside the light: How invisible electric fields drive device luminescence By Osaka Metropolitan University Researchers used electroluminescence-detected magnetic resonance to directly observe electron-hole pairs in operating light-emitting electrochemical cells. They found that ion-driven changes in the internal electric field strongly affect recombination efficiency. A breakthrough study redefines how gastric cancer develops and behaves differently By National Taiwan University A Taiwan-oriented study in Gut shows that gastric cancer is shaped by complex interactions between environmental exposure, microbes, host, and tumor biology. The findings reveal distinct cancer routes and targets linked to prognosis and potential treatment opportunities. Quantum Handshake: How orbital overlap dictates molecular conductance By National Taiwan University By placing single-atom-thick adlayers of p-block metals on commonly employed gold electrodes (d-block), a research team at National Taiwan University has successfully quantified the "interfacial hopping integral" between molecules and electrodes. The Power of twins: decoding the unseen information flow By Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo (UTokyo-IIS) Researchers from Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo develop a mutual information estimator capable of accurately measuring information flow to biological outputs without needing input quantities Y-Doped Catalyst Transforms Ammonia into Sustainable Hydrogen Energy By Tohoku University Researchers found that Y-doping (adding yttrium) to an inexpensive nickel catalyst was the key to speeding up an otherwise sluggish reaction that results in hydrogen – which can be used as a sustainable fuel. Could a hot cup of matcha dial down the 'sneeze switch' in allergic rhinitis? By Hiroshima University The famed Japanese green tea powder may suppress nerve activity associated with sneezing in hay fever, according to a study in mice. Low testosterone, high fructose: A recipe for liver disaster By Osaka Metropolitan University Changes in male hormones and excessive sugar intake work together in progressing liver damage Soft Fibers that Move with Electricity By Tohoku University Wearable medical devices, like exoskeletons, often rely on soft actuators, materials that convert electrical energy into motion. But traditional actuators often use stiff metallic materials that limit mobility. The Lingnan University Institute for Advanced Study appoints Prof Guillermo Sapiro as Lingnan Fellow By Lingnan University The Lingnan University Institute for Advanced Study (LUIAS) hosted a conferment ceremony today, 10 March, to honour Prof Guillermo Sapiro, Augustine Family Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Princeton University and Distinguished Engineer at Apple, Inc. A candidate landing site for China's first crewed lunar mission Observations of the Rimae Bode region on the Moon reveal five distinct types of terrain and identify several potential landing sites for China's first crewed mission, according to research published in Nature Astronomy.
