Japan's leading national research university, with institutes like the Institute for Solid State Physics studying materials, physics, and planetary science.
No evidence-backed relationships are recorded.
University of Toronto physicists say hidden eight-pole magnetic order leaves a handedness in crystal vibrations that light can read. Ordinary probes miss this 'octupolar' state, so researchers can now look for it before anyone tries to build memory from it.
Reality
University of Tokyo chemists built CYAN, a machine-learning method that extracts reaction-step rate constants from yield data gathered during optimization. If its numbers match conventional measurements, one set of optimization runs could deliver both the best conditions and the kinetics that explain them.
Reality
A University of Tokyo group found the planet in brightness data already in hand, where the secondary eclipse arrived earlier than a circular orbit allows. Its star's surface is 8,400 C and the orbit takes two days.
Reality
A Japanese team ran one 2023 multibeam survey of the Mariana Trench through five sound-speed models and got maximum depths 18 metres apart, publishing 10,927 m as its preferred figure and the raw data for reanalysis.
Reality
Shortening structures turn up more often on smooth ground than on rough. Correcting for that detection bias raises Mercury's radial contraction from 8.3 to 11.6 kilometres, and the authors say even that is probably low.
Reality
Fukuhara's group at Kyushu pressurized a deep-sea rhodopsin and a land-dwelling one in the same rig, and only the deep-sea protein came back with its light absorption intact. Trimer formation is the proposed reason.
Reality
A Yokohama-led team pulled narrow proton linewidths out of schizorhodopsin SzR1 in a hydrated bilayer without deuterating it, using under a milligram of protein and getting spectra rather than a finished structure.
Reality
A University of Tokyo-led team fed satellite isotope ratios into a weather model and got better winds, temperature and humidity out of it, which is the first evidence that a long-theorized upgrade pays off in a setup close to how forecasters actually run.
Reality
The first paper built on ESA Hera's Deimos flyby argues a single roughly 320-metre impactor did both jobs, and that the moon is porous and fragile. JAXA's MMX inherits that finding.
Reality
Stature estimates of 1.8 and 1.9 metres come from an incomplete femur and a tibia pulled off the seabed, undated and with no recorded find-spot. The anatomy is fine; the sample is the problem.
Reality
About a hundred SPH runs at the University of Bern converge on a single non-destructive strike as the source of Deimos's south-polar depression and its global regolith. The surface is ejecta, and it is weak.
