The researchers discovered that a network that incorporated both pairwise and set-wise connections performed best and retained the greatest number of memories. Researchers have developed…
Quantum systems refer to the study of systems that operate on the principles of quantum mechanics. These systems include atoms, molecules, and subatomic particles, and…
Researchers have constructed a high-quality, chromosome-scale genome of pearl oysters, which they hope can be used to find resilient strains. In Japan, pearl oysters are…
Scientists discovered a gene that plays an important role in reducing depression, fear, and anxiety. By combining neuroscience with molecular biology, scientists have discovered that…
Scientists have taken a significant step in understanding these whirling quasiparticles and putting them to work in future semiconductor technologies. Researchers reported that they have…
A species of oval squid from Okinawa, locally known as Shiro-ika, is being cultured at OIST’s Marine Science Station. This animal exhibited amazing camouflaging abilities…
Scientists have revealed that the genomes of marine invertebrates have been surprisingly stable across deep time. Over millions of years, random mutations cause sections of…

Common Origin: Venoms in Snakes and Salivary Protein in Mammals Evolved From the Same Ancestral Gene
A new study has found that a class of toxins found in snake and mammalian venom evolved from the same ancestral gene. A new study…
33 metabolic compounds linked to dementia could be key to new methods of diagnosis and treatment. Researchers have identified 33 metabolic compounds that are linked…
Two diamond shaped, rubble-pile asteroids have been observed near Earth, and were photographed by unmanned spacecrafts in 2018 and 2019. Scientists at OIST and Rutgers…
