Scientists Build One of the Most Detailed Digital Simulations of the Mouse Cortex Using Japan’s Fugaku Supercomputer
Researchers from the Allen Institute and Japan’s University of Electro-Communications have built one of the most detailed mouse cortex simulations ever created. Using Japan’s Fugaku supercomputer, the team modeled around 10 million neurons and 26 billion synapses, recreating realistic structure and activity. The virtual cortex offers a new plat...

In Japan, Scientists Turn Body Fat Into Bone To Heal Spine: Study
Researchers in Osaka have found that stem cells from fat tissue can repair spinal fractures similar to those caused by osteoporosis.

Ghostly Neutrinos May Hold the Answer to Why Matter Exists in Our Universe
In a breakthrough study, scientists merged data from Japan’s T2K and the U.S. NOvA neutrino experiments to explore why matter exists in the universe. The findings improve measurements of neutrino behavior and may help reveal whether these particles break symmetry with antimatter, offering vital clues to how the universe survived after the Big Ban...

Scientists Drilled Deep Under The Sea, Here's What They Learnt
Far beneath the waves, down in the depths of the Japan Trench - seven kilometres below sea level - lie hidden clues about some of the most powerful earthquakes and tsunamis on Earth.

Japanese Scientists Develop New Plastic That Dissolves In Saltwater
Japanese scientists at RIKEN CEMS, led by Takuzo Aida, have developed a new supramolecular plastic that maintains strength in use but dissolves quickly in saltwater.

Japan’s Universal Memory Breakthrough Reduces Energy, Boosts Speed
Scientists in Japan have developed a new type of "universal memory" that could revolutionise computing. Their improved MRAM technology overcomes previous energy limitations by using a multiferroic heterostructure with a vanadium layer for stability. This allows for faster data processing while significantly reducing power consumption, making future...

New AI Model Can Tell How Your Body Has Aged Using Just 5 Drops Of Blood
Scientists at Osaka University in Japan have devised a new AI model to estimate a person's biological age - a measure of how well their body has aged, rather than just counting the years since birth.

Scientists in Japan Create Sustainable Hydrogen Fuel from Water and Sunlight
Researchers in Japan have developed a new reactor that generates hydrogen fuel using sunlight and water. The system employs a two-step photocatalytic process, proving promising for clean energy production, though efficiency challenges remain. Researchers are working to improve the system’s performance and safety to scale up its application

Phosphorus Grains in Ryugu Samples Offer Insights into Earth’s Early Life Chemistry
Scientists have discovered phosphorus-rich grains in samples from the asteroid Ryugu, brought back by Japan’s Hayabusa2 mission. These grains, thought to have come from the outer Solar System, may have interacted with early Earth’s water, releasing essential nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen. This interaction could have played a role in th...

Explainer: Why Did Japan Scientists Issue 'Megaquake' Advisory
Japan's earthquake scientists say the country should prepare for a possible "megaquake" one day that could kill hundreds of thousands of people -- although they stress the warning does not mean a colossal tremor is imminent.

Japan PM Fumio Kishida Cancels Central Asia Trip Amid Megaquake Warnings
Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on Friday cancelled a trip to Central Asia after earthquake scientists warned the country should prepare for a possible "megaquake".

Japan's Megaquake Advisory Follows 7.1 Magnitude Tremor
Japan's earthquake scientists have warned of the possibility of a coming "megaquake" after eight people were injured Thursday by one of magnitude 7.1 in the south.

On Camera: Scientists Capture Plants "Talking" To Each Other For The First Time
To capture the communication, these scientists used an air pump connected to a container of leaves and caterpillars, and another box with Arabidopsis thaliana, a common weed from the mustard family.
