National research university in Hiroshima, Japan, spanning sciences, engineering, and medicine with wide-ranging experimental research programs.
Hiroshima University researchers found that borderline strike calls shift with the ball-strike count across more than 450,000 MLB pitches. A model that changes only the umpire's expected pitch locations reproduces much of that shift.
Reality
Physicists at Kyoto and Hiroshima universities built an optical circuit that identifies three-photon W states in one shot, with an averaged fidelity of 0.871. That clears the two-thirds benchmark comfortably, though only three photons have been tested so far.
Reality
Kyoto and Hiroshima University physicists built an optical circuit that identifies three-photon W states in a single measurement. If it scales, labs checking larger entangled states could skip tomography, whose data needs grow exponentially with photon number.
Reality
The Kyoto-led model says an axion signal should peak in Southeast Asia, but the decade of records came from Britain, and the several unexplained dark photon candidates it also turned up cannot be checked from one station.
Reality
An international team maps a Scleraxis enhancer conserved from coelacanths to humans. Delete its 343 bp core and the mouse limb loses a bone ridge, not a tendon.

Hiroshima University researchers report that swapping refined sucrose for sugarcane molasses changed the structure and activity of exopolysaccharides from Bacillus velezensis AZU-A3.
