A more efficient way to write data into non-volatile memory devices improves their performance.

While breastfeeding has become more common across the globe in recent years, lactating women may not be aware of the nutrient adequacy of their breast milk and how their daily diet affects their nutrition intakes.

Researchers in Malaysia have developed a new system that can lower room temperature in buildings.

Researchers at Nagoya University establish a new index based on rib strength measurement, which can use fossil records to predict whether extinct mammalian species lived exclusively in the water, were occasionally on land, or were fully land-based.

Scientists propose ‘adaptive gravity’ as a versatile model for collective animal behaviour.

Scientists at Hokkaido University have revealed temperature-dependent energy-state conversion of molecular hydrogen on ice surfaces, suggesting the need for a reconsideration of molecular evolution theory.

Scientists at Hokkaido University have successfully measured the eye pressure of sleeping patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome for the first time, finding an unexpected correlation with glaucoma.

A research team led by Professor Seyun Kim of the Department of Biological Sciences at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) has identified inositol pyrophosphates as the molecule that strongly controls neuron signaling via synaptotagmin.

The 1st International Symposium on Hyperloop has been held at Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), South Korea, to discuss future direction and current status of Hyperloop research.

An international team of researchers has successfully demonstrated the self-organizing pattern formation in active materials at microscale with computer simulations.

A computer model that can “learn” similarly to the human brain could help water resource managers mitigate damage in cases of extreme flooding, according to research published in the Pertanika Journal of Science & Technology.

Authenticating edible oils and hence screening gutter oils within minutes to assure food safety.

Myth-busting research into a new alternative solar cell material could lead to cheaper solar cells.

Device architecture that can tune a material’s magnetic properties could reduce the power consumption of memories.

Bullying happens in the primate world too, but for young bonobo females, big mama comes to the rescue. Kyoto University primatologists report that bonobo females frequently aid younger females when males behave aggressively towards them. This partly explains how females maintain a superior status in bonobo society.

The efficient purification of propylene using a fine-tuned porous material delivers advances in petrochemical production.

Researchers centered at Nagoya University revealed a role for orexin neurons of the hypothalamus in regulating the response to harmful stimuli in mice. This findings suggest a link between response to stimuli and consciousness that is regulated by neurons producing orexin.

Altering a single atom in a silver nanocluster considerably changes its properties, creating an exciting opportunity to design these clusters.

Adjusting the cooking time is all it takes to tune the magnetic properties of these multi-functional iron nanowires.

An international group of researchers measured the magnetoresistive effects of palladium–cobalt oxide (PdCoO2), a non-magnetic, highly conductive material. When a magnetic field was applied to PdCoO2, they observed significant phenomena, the conductivity of PdCoO2 greatly increased with increasing magnetic field.
