RESEARCH

O⁶-methylguanine (O⁶mG) is highly mutagenic because it can mispair with thymine. Notably, O⁶mG is also cytotoxic, particularly in proliferating cells. This property is exploited in cancer therapy usin [...]

1. background In the pursuit of carbon neutrality, hydrogen energy is regarded as a key technology, and active research is underway on fuel cells that maximize the advantages of hydrogen. Proton [...]

The lifetime of the excited triplet state (T1) is over 1,000 times longer than that of the excited singlet state (S1). The long-lived T1 state induces non-radiative exciton decay processes, leading to [...]

Quantitative evaluation of changes in the resistance of forest cover against rainfall-induced shallow landslides based on both conditions of forest cover and rainfall characteristics that triggered landslides

Department of Agro-environmental Sciences, Graduate School of Bioresource and Bioenvironmental Sciences

To mitigate sediment-related disasters and manage forest resources without increasing landslide risk, it is necessary to clarify what conditions of forest cover prevent (or do not prevent) shallow lan [...]

Creation of functional surfaces mimicking lubrication mechanism by extracellular matrix-derived polymers on the surface layer of articular cartilage

Department of Mechanical Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering

In articular cartilage, the extracellular matrix on the surface layer of cartilage contributes to the extremely low friction phenomenon. To elucidate this mechanism, the physical model of cartilage ti [...]

Effect of morphological differences on geographic isolation and species diversity explored from rove beetle inhabiting ground

Department of Bioresource Sciences, Graduate School of Bioresource and Bioenvironmental Sciences

The speciation by geographical isolation is often researched by taxa with strong habitat preference. These organisms frequently have high species diversity because their populations tend to be fragmen [...]

Photocatalytic water splitting has garnered increasing attention as a promising energy conversion technology, particularly due to the recent development of an InGaN/GaN nanowire thin-film photocatalys [...]

Precious metal complexes such as platinum(II), which have been widely used as photo-functional materials, are costly and resource limited, driving strong demand for their replacement with more abundan [...]
