Tokyo’s Voluntary Standstill May Have Stopped COVID-19 in its Tracks

Study from The University of Tokyo Institute of Industrial Science uses mobile phone location data to show Japan’s noncompulsory lockdown during first wave of COVID-19 effectively reduced Tokyo’s human movement, social contact, and infection spread

Tetrahedra May Explain Water ‘s Uniqueness

S cientists at The University of Tokyo use a two-state model based on the formation of tetrahedral structures to explain water’s anomalous properties and the surprising liquid–liquid transition of water

Stress-free Gel

Researchers at The University of Tokyo find a new type of formation of gels with less internal mechanical stress by controlling particle interactions, with implications for food preparation and our knowledge of intracellular gelation

Surface waves can help nanostructured devices keep their cool

A research team led by the Institute of Industrial Science, the University of Tokyo finds that hybrid surface waves called surface phonon-polaritons can conduct heat away from nanoscale material structures

A Clearer View of What Makes Glass Rigid

A team of scientists led by the University of Tokyo uses computer simulations to study the rigidity of amorphous solids like glass

Having a Ball: Crystallization in a Sphere

Researchers from The University of Tokyo and Fudan University observe the crystallization process in a droplet

0.5°C of additional warming has a huge effect on global aridity

Based on models specifically designed to examine the difference between 1.5°C and 2°C of global warming, UTokyo researchers reveal major effects of the additional warming on drought in many regions of the world

Painless paper patch test for glucose levels uses microneedles

A patch of microneedles, each less than 1 mm in length, painlessly samples fluid from the skin and quickly reports glucose levels using a paper sensor with a color scale

Researchers at The University of Tokyo and Fudan University use confocal microscopy to observe polymorphic crystallization in unprecedented detail

Diabetic Mice Improve With Retrievable Millimeter-thick Cell-laden Hydrogel Fiber

Researchers from The University of Tokyo discover that the diameter of fiber-shaped cell-laden hydrogel transplants determines their success in the treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus
