News Research Update Study finds ‘dark matter’ DNA is vital for rice reproduction Regions of DNA that give rise to non-coding RNA are required for proper development of plant reproductive organs. 19 June 2020 Research Update Casting light on glow-in-the-dark materials Emergency signs, clock dials, and safety-way guides require glow-in-the-dark materials. Professor Ryota Kabe is looking at how these materials can be created efficiently and economically. 17 June 2020 Research Update Scientists iron out the physics of wrinkling Researchers combine experiments and theory to determine how curved edges affect the wrinkling of ultra-thin materials. 05 June 2020 Research Update COVID-19 Disease Map provides a useful resource for tackling the current pandemic An OIST researcher is involved in a multi-disciplinary, international collaboration to uncover the molecular interaction mechanisms between the SARS-CoV-2 virus and its host. 24 May 2020 Research Update Scientists probe the nature of the mind A researcher explores the mind and its implications for human society. 18 May 2020 Research Update Stretch and flow: Research sheds light on unusual properties of well-known materials Researchers strive to better understand the flow of materials that have both liquid-like and solid-like states, such as toothpaste, mayonnaise, and ketchup. 19 May 2020 Research Update Controlling quantumness: Simulations reveal details about how particles interact Recent study describes new states that can be found in super-cold atom experiments, which could have applications for quantum technology. 07 May 2020 Research Update Sparking insights: stripping away the mysteries of our body’s electrical wires OIST scientist hunts for clues to how neurons survive – and why they sometimes die. 08 May 2020 Research Update Scientists unveil how general anesthesia works A study in mice and rat brains reveals how general anesthesia dampens high frequency brain activity by weakening synapses. 24 April 2020 Research Update Modeling the Spread of COVID-19 Professor Simone Pigolotti and his team from the Biological Complexity Unit have modeled the spread of COVID-19 within Okinawa to predict its impact. 22 April 2020 Research Update Promiscuity in the Paleozoic: Researchers uncover clues about vertebrate evolution By looking at the DNA of living animals, researchers have revealed early events in vertebrate evolution, including how jawed vertebrates arose from the mating of two different species of primitive fish half a billion years ago. 22 April 2020 Research Update Gel, masks, and face shields: Researchers use specific skills to help Okinawa With the number of COVID-19 cases in Okinawa on the rise, OIST researchers are looking at how they can help the local community. 20 April 2020 Pagination Previous page ‹‹ Page 49 Next page ›› Media Coverage Coverage of OIST in the media and on the web Media Coverage
