Researchers in Tokyo find that a 100-year-old method for redirecting water can be used to control heat dissipation in electronics

The study’s findings highlight the urgent need for comprehensive regulation, including a potential ban on flavored tobacco products and the adoption of plain packaging to curb their appeal.

Photoswitching and thermal switching properties allow writing by irradiation or heat and erasing by visible light

The equatorial Pacific plays a crucial role in regulating tropical cloud formation and regional weather extremes, earning it the nickname “the pacemaker of global warming.” Though its impact may seem subtle, this oceanic region has been a silent hero, slowing the pace of global warming. Now, climate scientists are on a quest to discover whether this protective mechanism will continue to pulsate in our favor.

Not much is known about the extent of Hepatitis A virus (HAV) contamination among Philippine communities, according to researchers, prompting an urgent call for further research and monitoring efforts.

A multi-institutional research team led by SUTD has developed a novel method that uses titanium resin to fabricate high-resolution 3D photonic crystals with a complete photonic bandgap in the visible range—a feat that has eluded scientists for decades.

To enhance the life quality of patients with sleep disordered breathing, researchers and clinicians led by an SUTD scientist used computational modelling to design custom-fit masks that have improved positive airway pressure treatment.

Scientists visualize and control magnetic domains in quantum antiferromagnets

An organic catalyst offers chemists precise control over a vital step in activating hydrocarbons.

Fluorescein angiography capable of assessing neural blood flow in chronic nerve compression neuropathy

Fungi don’t have eyes or a brain, but their intelligent behaviours may surprise you! Research at Tohoku University suggests that fungi may be able to recognize shapes.

Researchers at Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, demonstrate how morphogens combined with cell adhesion can generate tissue domains with a sharp boundary in an in vitro model system.

An unprecedented rapid increase in anthropogenic fingerprints around 1952 in the global strata reflects the point in time when humanity began to overwhelm the Earth system

Surgery for discoid lateral meniscus in adolescence could lead to worsening complications and difficult solutions

Unearthing new LEDs, solar cells, and photodetectors requires extensive knowledge surrounding the optical properties of materials. Calculating these takes time and resources. Yet researchers from Tohoku University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have unveiled a new AI tool that can accurately, and crucially much faster than quantum simulations, for predicting optical properties.

Researchers from Osaka University have created a high-performance polymer that can be chemically recycled without compromising its heat and chemical resistance. The revolutionary design includes a directing group that allows links in the polymer to be broken easily with a catalyst and the original polymer to be reformed in few steps. The directing group could be included in many polymers, potentially providing a new generation of high-performance plastics that can be recycled indefinitely.

Researchers at Tohoku University developed a novel method using facet-selective, ultrafine cocatalysts to efficiently split water to create hydrogen – a clean source of fuel.

A team of scientists in Singapore and the US uncovered how a protein that controls our biological clock modifies its own function, offering new ways for treating jet lag and seasonal adjustments

Successful selection of compounds inhibiting the function of a transcription factor

Researchers performed two studies to better characterize the effects of job embeddedness, or factors that influence an employee’s commitment to their job, on voluntary turnover in the face of job insecurity.

Future of bioplastics made from carbon dioxide and biomass molecules could rely on more enzymes, shorter incubation periods

A study underscores the importance of taking into account local peoples’ everyday experiences, practices, and perceptions in establishing water quality.

How multiple DNA binding proteins compete for the DNA substrate leads to different biochemical outcomes. Using single-molecule experiments, this work demonstrates that the regulatory protein Mei5-Sae3 complex stabilizes Dmc1 recombinases on RPA-coated DNA, leading to efficient RPA displacement and Dmc1 assembly, which in turn stimulates recombination progression.
