Innovative procedures for ‘musically visualizing blood vessels’ yield deep insights into human health for disease mitigation

Researchers at the University of Tokyo demonstrate a highly compact and efficient cooling system using semiconductor quantum wells. This work can help keep portable electronic devices from overheating.

New research at The University of Tokyo demonstrates the active control of chemical reactions using nanoantennae energized by infrared lasers.

Simulations from researchers in Japan provide new insights into the reactions occurring in solid-oxide fuel cells by using realistic atomic-scale models of the electrode active site based on microscope observations instead of the simplified and idealized atomic structures employed in previous studies. This better understanding of how the structures in the cells affect the reactions could give clues on ways to improve performance and durability in future devices.

Researchers at The University of Tokyo discover how to describe disordered collections of objects using unique mathematics different from ordered crystals. This work may have important applications in the industry in favor of highly stable materials.
