Osaka chemists count mirror-image amino acids one molecule at a time

University of Osaka researchers used a gold nanogap and AI to tell L- from D-amino acids one molecule at a time, at over 80% accuracy. On meteorite and desert extracts it matched standard methods, so a compact life-detection instrument is still a hope.

Nanometre-thick graphene lets a long-pulse laser push protons to 132 MeV

University of Osaka researchers drove protons to 132 MeV with a long-pulse laser and graphene targets that survived the prepulse. That shows ultrathin targets can work with long pulses, though the release reports a peak energy without the beam figures a practical accelerator needs.

In people past 110, one rare T cell keeps growing instead of fading

Osaka researchers found CD4 cytotoxic T lymphocytes rise from 4 percent to 17.6 percent of circulating T cells across the oldest age brackets. Outside immunologists want function, not just counts.
