⛈️☂️Tropical cyclones that do not make landfall are often more responsible for heavy rainfall than those that hit the Philippines directly during southwest monsoon season, according to new research from @ateneodemanilau. @MObservatory @dost_pagasa #climate #meteorology #Habagat

Researchers at @UOsaka_en developed a #DeepLearning model for rapid and accurate assessment of building damage after floods⛈️ The study provides crucial design principles for future #AI-aided #disaster response, contributing to relief efforts⛑️ #IJDRR #DRRM

For the first time, @UTokyo_IIS researchers quickly and efficiently measure the #seafloor down to the centimeter-level using an unmanned aerial vehicle🌊, enabling real-time data for #earthquake disaster prevention. @AGUEarthSpace #geophysics #UAVs

As Japanese society increasingly gets global, a new study from @Hiroshima_Univ found that a lack of teacher training on multicultural #education is contributing to isolation and missed learning opportunities for students with foreign roots.🎓🧑‍💻 #AsianStudies #sociology #research

Scientists from @dukenus and @NTUsg uncovered how specialised support cells in the #gut form direct, neuron-like connections to deliver precise instructions to stem cells, opening new paths for treating #coloncancer and inflammatory bowel disease. @Dev_Cell #medicine #health

Attributed to Chokha, a prominent painter, “Escapade at Night” depicts a late-night tryst between lovers, a common subject in miniature #paintings from the 17th to 19th centuries, inspired by the poetry traditions of the time. @MAPAcademy_ #arts #culture #India

.@TohokuUniPR researchers have uncovered key principles that could advance sustainable #ammonia production by electrochemically converting nitrate waste, an unwanted byproduct of modern-day ammonia production. ♻️🌏 @J_A_C_S @haoli_nu #chemistry #sustainability

A team from @LingnanUni has developed CineSim, the world’s first #cinematography simulation education software. It enables hands-on #film-making skills to be learned easily using computer simulation.🎥 #education #filmstudies

Researchers at @NTU_TW have developed a fast, low-cost paper-based test to detect hidden #immune defects that make patients prone to severe, persistent infections. The device enables one-step, highly sensitive detection within 10 minutes.😷 #biosensors #medtech #immunodeficiency

🌞 A DGIST research team developed bifacial #solar cells that can receive sunlight from both the front and back sides to generate power. This technology can be fabricated at low temperatures, enabling a simpler production process. @AdvPortfolio #materials #science #energy

Echoes of grief, unexpected mineral from asteroid, stress-triggered gene, fingerprinting bacteria, tastier lab-grown meat & more! Read all in the latest Editor's Choice: bit.ly/3Ucnzr7 Stories from @UOsaka_en @Hiroshima_Univ @OsakaMetUniv_en @NTU_TW @UTokyo_IIS @SUTDsg…

The #crystal structure of the material called TBAB hydrate was unresolved despite it being widely used. Now, researchers from Yokohama National University and other institutions used @spring8pr to finally solve the mystery. @ACSPublications #materialsscience #chemistry

Stevia leaf extract has potential as anticancer treatment, @Hiroshima_Univ researchers find. When fermented with #plant-derived bacteria, it is toxic to pancreatic #cancer cells but not to healthy kidney cells. @IJMS_MDPI #medicine #microbiology

🤯 Breakthrough in compact, high-field #plasma science: @UOsaka_en scientists have developed a new method for generating ultrahigh magnetic fields 🧲 via laser-driven implosions of blade-structured microtubes, achieving field strengths approaching 1 megatesla.

Yokohama National University researchers develop a novel method to predict #alloy microstructures with unprecedented speed and accuracy. @NatureComms #engineering #materialsscience

For the first time, @NTU_TW researchers present an approach using interspersed assembled monolayers for both organic and perovskite #solar cell technologies🌞, providing a universal chemical solution for advancing research in net-zero #energy goals.♻️ @J_A_C_S #chemistry #SDG7

New material for #space🚀🛰️ @TohokuUniPR and collaborating institutions have created an alloy that maintains its special ability to act as a sort of temperature-activated memory foam at temperatures as low as -200°C. @CommsEng #engineering @Iwate_Univ_PR @JAXA_en @prcnaoj_en

To prevent the death of neurons in the #brain, a research group led by @OsakaMetUniv_en has developed a drug that inhibits a protein involved in cell death. It showed lower levels of cell death and paralysis in mice with acute #stroke. @CellPressNews #biochemistry #neuroscience

New mathematical models devised by @UOsaka_en researchers shed light on the mechanics of #crystal defects.💎 Their results may help explain the unusual mechanical properties of crystals so they can be used to design new #materials. @royalsociety
