A Nagoya University team has overcome one of the key limitations of X-ray technology by making the mirror using only a single-crystal piezoelectric thin wafer instead of the usual two-part structure. Using this technique, they changed X-ray beam size by more than 3,400 times. This improved dynamic range massively improves both imaging and analysis, improving the efficiency of advanced techniques and massively enhancing workflows.

Abandoned termite mounds are a newly discovered microhabitat for diverse insect groups in both undisturbed rainforest and areas that have been logged in the past.

A new study has revealed for the first time that zooplankton migration contributes significantly to carbon sequestration in the Southern Ocean—a process overlooked in climate models.

The Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) has announced that a joint research team, led by Dr. Sangho Cho of the Center for Extreme Materials Research and Dr. Yongho Joo of the Center for Functional Composite Materials Research, has developed a polymeric material that offer high-performance data storage while completely degrading within days when immersed in water.
