High-speed cameras trade detail for duration. A University of Tokyo team packs frames tightly at first and spreads them out later, linking roughly 5 orders of magnitude in time with 11 frames in a single shot.
Some AI GPUs are now far weaker at the FP64 math science needs. A Shibaura Institute of Technology method rebuilds it from low-precision units; NVIDIA lists up to 175 TFLOPS on a B200. How it works, and its limits.
Spoon-leaved sundews with cut leaves closed their flowers more tightly when touched, in an indoor test of 15 and 17 plants. What carries that 'memory' is still unknown.
JERA, Dell and RHAELM plan a 400 MW AI data center at JERA's Chiba gas plant, powered without the public grid. Why there, what gas means, and the US case regulators blocked.
Bridgestone left F1 in 2010 and lost a bid to return in 2023. From December it supplies every Formula E car, on tyres it says are 65% recycled and renewable, a figure that partly relies on mass-balance accounting.
Cyclo-octasulfur, the yellow sulfur of volcanoes, is made and stored in fat droplets in mouse and human cells. It won't dissolve in water and breaks apart when measured; a chemistry capsule caught it.
Kanazawa University and AIST report the first vertical diamond MOSFET with an inversion-layer channel. Diamond transistors that switch off this way existed by 2016; what is new is building one vertically.
NEC plans several hundred laser-linked satellites, the Yomiuri reports. Japan's Kirari made a two-way laser link in 2005, but Starlink now has about 11,100. Why Japan still wants its own.
A Japanese headline put this year's El Niño losses in the trillions. The figure traces back to a 2023 estimate of $5.7 trillion for the 1997–98 event. Why estimates differ 100-fold, and a think tank's own correction.
An international team used NAOJ's ATERUI III to show how a newborn black hole could look like one of Webb's little red dots. NAOJ's Japanese release says 'closing in'; its English one says 'explained.'
For nearly 25 years, only one double-Lambda hypernucleus had been fully identified. A RIKEN-led team used AI to sift 0.2% of J-PARC's photographic film, then pinned down a boron-13 nucleus by hand.
