"I Have A Japanese Mom And Dad": How A Flight Gave An Indian Google Scientist A Second Family
The bond became so deep that Dabre's biological parents eventually met his "Japanese parents" in Japan.

How Hot Was the Universe 7 Billion Years Ago? Scientists Now Have an Answer
Japanese astronomers using ALMA data have found the universe was about twice as hot 7 billion years ago, with a temperature of 5.13 K compared to today’s 2.7 K. The finding aligns perfectly with Big Bang predictions that the Universe cools as it expands, providing the most precise mid-epoch measurement yet and reinforcing confidence in standard c...

Japanese Scientists Develop Eco-Friendly Plastic Ingredient Using Bacteria
This process improves yield, avoids toxic waste, and could lead to more biodegradable plastics, reducing the need for petroleum-based products.

Japanese Scientists Develop Plastic That Vanishes In Seawater
The researchers revealed that the new material leaves behind nitrogen and phosphorus, which microbes can metabolise and plants can absorb.

Scientists Discover Three-Eyed Sea Moth From Half a Billion Years Ago
Paleontologists have discovered Mosura fentoni, a three-eyed, finger-sized marine predator from half a billion years ago, in museum fossil collections in Canada. Named after the Japanese monster Mothra, this ancient radiodont had a highly segmented body and unusually long gills on its rear, possibly adapted for breathing in low-oxygen environments....

Sound Waves May Help You Lose Weight, New Study Finds
The study found that sound waves stopped adipocyte differentiation, the process where precursor cells turn into mature fat cells that store fat.

Japanese Scientists Create The World's Largest Lab-Grown Chicken Nugget
The scientific procedure used a device that mimics blood vessels in the human body, enabling the meat to grow.

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...

Earth's Hidden 'Ignorosphere' Could Provide Insights into Auroras
A new dataset developed by Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo provides valuable insights into Earth's upper atmosphere, specifically the mesosphere. Spanning 19 years, the data sheds light on phenomena like auroras, gravity waves, and their connection to space weather. The study, published in Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, ...

10,000 Steps A Day May Actually Be Good For Your Health, Study Suggests
The advice of 10,000 steps a day for good health didn't originate from scientists; it was invented by the Japanese clock company Yamasa. The company had created a personal-fitness pedometre called the Manpo-kei, which means "10000 steps metre."

Scientists Grow Mouse Embryos In Space For First Time
Mouse embryos have been grown on the International Space Station and developed normally in the first study indicating it could be possible for humans to reproduce in space, a group of Japanese scientists said.

Microplastics Are Present In Clouds, Confirm Japanese Scientists
Researchers in Japan have confirmed microplastics are present in clouds, where they are likely affecting the climate in ways that aren't yet fully understood.
