With the world experiencing an increase in drought since the beginning of the millennium, Japan-based RIKEN has created a cost-effective soil treatment intended on increasing the survival rate of crops by 10 times.
RIKEN scientists in Japan have created a “self-healing” polymer made from a common chemical that is aimed, not only at minimizing the environmental impacts of commercial polymers, but also improving durability and cost efficiency.
Researchers have developed a system that could lead to breakthroughs in local area networks and photonics by directing light and electromagnetic waves for signal processing without unwanted signal reflections, according to a new study.
A study published Jan. 9 in the journal Nature Aging shows that aged bone marrow promotes the expansion of arterial smooth muscle cells, which exacerbates the buildup of fatty deposits in artery walls.
A new and unexpected cell death mechanism found in fly guts opens up big questions about how the digestive system really maintains its balance.

A new study co-authored by Prof. Song Ma finds that allocating research funding to certain scientific fields can have long-term ripple effects across sectors and countries. The results suggest that the United States should invest more in semiconductors and green technology.
Anew study brings precision to the understanding of which antibiotics work best for acne treatment and why.
To understand how cells behave, researchers also need to understand the molecules that make them work.
Biomass is widely considered a renewable alternative to fossil fuels, and many experts say it can play a critical role in combating climate change.
