Their results could help develop new methods to improve the efficiency of biofuel production from microalgae.
New synthesis method opens up possibilities for organic electronics
Scientists at Tokyo Tech modify a previous synthesis method to create a new semiconducting polymer with remarkable properties which could be used in organic electronic devices such as thin film transistors.
Electricity-Driven Undersea Reactions May have Been Important for the Emergence of Life
Tokyo Tech team discovers unusual chemical reactions in deep sea environment laboratory simulations.
Succeed in sensitivity increase and noise reduction of accelerometer:
Sensitivity over 100 times, noise less than one-tenth
ELSI Scientists Discover New Chemistry That May Help Explain the Origins of Cellular Life
Chemists find simplest organic molecules can self-assemble to give cell-like structures under early Earth conditions.
Successful application of machine learning in the discovery of new polymers
As a powerful example of how AI can accelerate the discovery of new materials, scientists in Japan have designed and verified polymers with high thermal conductivity - a property that would be the key to heat management, for example, in the fifth-generation (5G) mobile communication technologies.
Could the heat of the Earth's crust become the ultimate energy source?
Scientists at Tokyo Tech and Sanoh Industrial developed a very stable battery cell that can directly convert heat into electricity, thus finally providing a way for exploiting geothermal energy in a sustainable way.
SimBlock: A simulator for testing improvements to real-world blockchain networks
Kazuyuki Shudo, his colleagues and the Cybersecurity Research Center at Tokyo Tech developed a public blockchain simulator called "SimBlock" for use in testing blockchain performance and security. The software can run on a single PC. It is now publicly available as open source.
