Researchers find that cold winters contributed to the evolution of beak size in Australasian songbirds.

It is now nearly eight months since the tragic diving incident when an OIST professional diver disappeared. Since that date OIST has been engaged in a rigorous examination to understand the background to the incident and to understand how OIST must adapt its health and safety procedures to make sure that such an incident does not happen again.

OIST researchers developed simple catalysts based on Earth-abundant manganese to use carbon dioxide for energy storage or turn it into useful chemicals for the industry.

Researchers develop a simple printing method to create effective disease detection tools.

Dr. Peter Gruss was awarded the prestigious Harnack medal by the Max Planck Society.

Researchers discover potential application of amino acid taurine in photodynamic therapy for brain cancer.

In brain cells, neurotransmitters are carried inside “cellular vehicles”. OIST scientists elucidate the mechanisms behind the motion of these vehicles in mammalian synapses.

OIST researchers report using one-atom-thin graphene film to drastically enhance the quality of electron microscopy images.
