How does your computer smell?

Researchers create a highly sensitive biohybrid olfactory sensor

A Shock to the PPE System

A researcher at The University of Tokyo develops a method for recharging used N95 masks with a van de Graaff generator, which may greatly alleviate the lack of high-quality personal protective equipment during the COVID-19 pandemic

A Theory as Clear as Glass

Scientists at The University of Tokyo use computer simulations to model the effects of elemental composition on the glass-forming ability of metallic mixtures, which may lead to tough, electroconductive glasses

Ultrasensitive transistor for herbicide detection in water

University of Tokyo researchers have fabricated a tiny electronic sensor that can detect very low levels of a commonly used weed killer in drinking water.

Looking Inside the Glass

Scientists at The University of Tokyo study aluminosilicate glass to determine its complex local structure with unprecedented detail. This work may lead to tougher and more inexpensive glass for touchscreens and solar arrays

Laser-Powered Nanomotors Chart Their Own Course

A team of scientists led by the University of Tokyo develop light-driven nanomotors that can operate without the need for focused lasers—work that may allow for increasingly miniaturized robots and microfluidics controlled entirely by light

Tokyo’s Voluntary Standstill May Have Stopped COVID-19 in its Tracks

Study from The University of Tokyo Institute of Industrial Science uses mobile phone location data to show Japan’s noncompulsory lockdown during first wave of COVID-19 effectively reduced Tokyo’s human movement, social contact, and infection spread

Tetrahedra May Explain Water ‘s Uniqueness

S cientists at The University of Tokyo use a two-state model based on the formation of tetrahedral structures to explain water’s anomalous properties and the surprising liquid–liquid transition of water

Stress-free Gel

Researchers at The University of Tokyo find a new type of formation of gels with less internal mechanical stress by controlling particle interactions, with implications for food preparation and our knowledge of intracellular gelation

Surface waves can help nanostructured devices keep their cool

A research team led by the Institute of Industrial Science, the University of Tokyo finds that hybrid surface waves called surface phonon-polaritons can conduct heat away from nanoscale material structures
