Life Sciences | Read moreKey mucosal immune response mechanism identified
The mucosal immune forms the largest part of the entire immune system and protects the body from pathogens and foreign particles by secreting the antibody Immunoglobin A (IgA). Specialized cel...
Life Sciences | Read moreShaping the way we move
A new experimental technique for measuring neural activation patterns in moving rats has clarified the function of excitatory and inhibitory neurons in the brain’s motor cortex. In a paper to appear i...
Life Sciences | Read moreSifting out the sources of spin
Along with the neutron, the proton is the basic building block of the atomic nucleus. But, the source of the proton’s spin—a fundamental property, along with charge—has been a long standing puzzle to ...
Physics and Astronomy | Read moreCellular secrets exposed in living color
One of the best ways to watch the complex workings of living cells is to label components, such as DNA segments, with fluorescent probes—small molecules with active optical properties. Then, using a f...

Named RICC (RIKEN Integrated Cluster of Clusters), the supercomputer is made up of four distinct computer clusters connected through InfiniBand interconnections, and has achieved a performance of 97.9...
Information Technology | Read moreHelping neurons find their way
As the brain develops, neuronal axons extend outward in search of other neurons, all the while receiving ‘directions’ from the extracellular environment in the form of chemical signals that indicate w...
Life Sciences | Read moreThe defense strategy of plants
If the mechanism that plants use to defend themselves can be understood, it will be possible to produce plants that are resistant to disease. The Plant Immunity Research Group is also undertaking rese...
Life Sciences | Read moreInterfaces: Different for every molecule
Contrary to expectations, structurally different molecules can display different solvent properties at an interface between air and water, researchers in Japan have discovered1. Tahei Tahara a...
Life Sciences | Read moreSpace observatory’s detector technology goes into single-molecule imaging
Since 1999, Yoshiyuki Takizawa has been working on the Extreme Universe Space Observatory (EUSO), an international project to develop a super wide-field telescope capable of observing large volumes of...
Physics and Astronomy | Read moreKnow who your friends are
There are rules governing which types of connections should be established, although it remains unclear how neurons ‘know’ these rules. “Recognition seems to occur because neurons are always connected...

Materials Sciences | Read moreInnovation via genetic ‘googling’
Many diseases are caused by genetic mutations. Researchers can use a technique called linkage analysis to identify rough intervals on the chromosome that might have mutated to cause each condition; ho...
Life Sciences | Read moreForecasting solar-energy harvests
Most life on earth depends on the sun to provide the energy needed to sustain its function. For more than a billion years, photosynthesis—a mechanism that has evolved to perfection—has allowed plants ...
