Tactile technology breakthrough gives displays the ability to give sticky feedback

A group of researchers at Osaka University developed a novel two-dimensional (2D) graphical tactile display to which one-dimensional (1D) adhesive information could be added by controlling adhesion of designated portions of the display surface. (Fig.1) Their research results were presented at SIGGRAPH ASIA 2019 Emerging Technologies, which was held in Australia from November 18 through

Speeding up computing by using light and bypassing Moore’s Law

A group of researchers in Japan has developed a new type of processor known as PAXEL, a device that can potentially bypass Moore’s Law and increase the speed and efficiency of computing. PAXEL, which stands for photonic accelerator, is placed at the front end of a digital computer and optimized to perform specific functions but

A major step towards a quantum internet

A research team led by Osaka University demonstrated how information encoded in the circular polarization of a laser beam can be translated into the spin state of an electron in a quantum dot, each being a quantum bit and a quantum computer candidate. The achievement represents a major step towards a “quantum internet,” in which

New AI technology uses trajectory to reveal the characteristics of animal behavior

Recording the movements of people and animals (including birds and insects) has become very easy because of the development of small and inexpensive GPS devices and video cameras. However, it is still difficult to infer what triggers such movements (for example, external stimuli and/or their mental processes) from the behavioral records. In this study, Shuhei

Can Parkinson’s disease be stopped before it starts?

An Osaka University-led research team has recently published findings that provide a ray of hope for the millions of Parkinson’s disease (PD) sufferers worldwide. Although more common in those aged over sixty, PD can strike at any age, with an estimated prevalence of 41 per 100,000 people in their forties. And while not fatal in

Taking social neuroscience to the next level with a new cable-free brain imaging method

Researchers at Osaka University develop a cable-free recording method that can be used to measure brain activity associated with social behavior in mice Existing electrophysiological and fluorescence-based brain imaging techniques in mice are generally invasive, require head fixes or cables, and are not suitable for long-term recordings. While there have been recent advances in imaging

Deep learning enables automatic neurological disease diagnosis

Analyzing brain waveforms using neuroimaging big data helps improve diagnosis accuracy A team of researchers from Osaka University and The University of Tokyo developed MNet, an automatic diagnosis system for neurological diseases using magnetoencephalography (MEG) (Figure 1), demonstrating the possibility of making automatic neurological disease diagnoses using MEG. Their research results were published in Scientific Reports.

Could Rubicon be a key to increased lifespan?

Autophagy is an important biological recycling mechanism that is used to maintain homeostasis (balance or equilibrium) within all types of animal tissue. Many studies have attempted to understand the relationship between the reduction of autophagy and progression of aging in animals; however, none have provided a clear explanation, until now. In 2009, a research team

A device that could serve as the backbone of a future quantum Internet

U of T Engineering researchers have demonstrated proof-of-principle for a device that could serve as the backbone of a future quantum Internet. Professor Hoi-Kwong Lo (ECE, Physics) and his collaborators have developed a prototype for a key element for all-photonic quantum repeaters, a critical step in long-distance quantum communication. A quantum Internet is the ‘Holy Grail’ of
