Self-folding polymers containing gadolinium forming nanosized complexes could be the key to enhanced magnetic resonance imaging and next-generation drug delivery, as demonstrated by scientists at Tokyo Tech. Thanks to their small size, low toxicity,

A hexagonal BaTiO3−xNy oxynitride catalyst with a basicity comparable to superbases has been developed by researchers from Tokyo Tech. The high basicity was attributed to the combined effect of substituting nitride ions and oxygen vacancies into BaTi

Pentoses are essential carbohydrates in the metabolism of modern lifeforms, but their availability during early Earth is unclear since these molecules are unstable. A new study led by the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at Tokyo Institute of Tech

New findings from the James Webb Space Telescope reveal a surprising abundance of oxygen in the early Universe. Researchers discovered that oxygen levels in galaxies surged within 500-700 million years following the Universe's birth, reaching levels comparabl…
