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

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

Global efforts to combat COVID-19 are proving to be extremely challenging. Epidemiologists, medical care experts, and public health policy makers are struggling to mitigate the spread of this disease that has infected approximately 20 million globally as of 11 August 2020, according to statistics compiled by John Hopkins University.

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

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

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

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
