Major discovery! 🌌 Scientists at The University of Hong Kong and collaborators deciphered the "first heartbeat" of a newborn #neutron star, first detected as millisecond pulsations hidden within a powerful cosmic explosion known as a gamma-ray burst. Nature Astronomy #Astrophysics #magnetars

A new study from Pusan National University predicts that extreme global #water shortages due to #ClimateChange may occur by 2100, with hotspots likely to emerge in the Mediterranean and southern Africa as early as the 2020s and 2030s. Nature Communications #SDG6 #WaterScarcity

DGIST researchers have developed a #solar-powered "artificial plant" device to clean up contaminated #soil. It collects the pollutant cesium in its "leaves" and can reduce cesium concentration by more than 95% within 20 days.🌿☢️ 🔗asiaresearchnews.com/content/purify… #Environment

Researchers at NTU Taiwan developed flexible, waterproof paper electrodes using #bamboo. 🎋 These green #electronics materials are designed to break down easily, helping to solve the growing problem of electronic waste. 🦾🦿 @advportfolio #MaterialsScience #SDG12 #nanotech

Researchers led by NTU Taiwan mimicked nature's nested structures to design a stable, self-assembling molecular cage. The team successfully generated gold nanoparticles inside the cage's cavity, showcasing its promise as a tiny chemical reactor.✨ J. Am. Chem. Soc. #nanotech #chemistry

Producing #ammonia consumes 1%-2% of the global energy supply, but researchers at Tohoku University WPI-AIMR, Tohoku Univ. have found an energy-efficient alternative.🌏♻️ The process converts harmful #pollutants in water to ammonia. @advportfolio #NetZero #chemistry #SDGs #SDG7 #ScienceNews

🚁 Osaka Metropolitan University researchers created an #AI model for #drones that is 88% smaller than other systems but still highly accurate. It enables fast, accurate object detection for tasks like #disaster response and environmental monitoring. Scientific Reports #UAVs #DeepLearning

#Commuting time and living environment have been found to correlate with poor #sleep health.🚗😴 A study from Osaka Metropolitan University revealed the causes of #insomnia for city workers in Tokyo: Long commutes and cramped living spaces. #health #wellbeing #worklife #transportation

DGIST researchers developed a new Physical #AI system for autonomous mobile #robots modelled after how social issues spread and are forgotten.🗣️🤝🤖 Experiments resulted in increased productivity and less driving time. #Robotics #PhysicalAI

.NTU Taiwan researchers made a discovery about healthy #aging by studying the brains of fruit flies. They uncovered how disabling a single protein helps boost the #brain’s ability to clear away harmful proteins, helping protect the brain and extend lifespan. #Autophagy #medicine

Demand-responsive transport (DRT) is promoted as an inclusive solution to first- and last-mile #mobility challenges. But an Osaka Metropolitan University study reveals a gap between willingness and actual use among people with poor health. #PublicHealth #transportation #geography
