Samples taken from the ocean surrounding the subtropical island of Okinawa have revealed the presence of microplastics in all six areas surveyed, finds new study.

Scientists and staff across OIST have worked hard over the last few months to test the OIST community for antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

Predicting animal behavior could one day be possible, say researchers, and a new study has made progress in this area by developing a framework based on the motion of a tiny species of worm.

The neurons of layer 6 – the deepest layer of the cortex – were examined by researchers to uncover how they react to sensory stimulation in different behavioral states.

Researchers combine mathematical models, marine science, and metagenomics to answer a decades-old question – why are there so many species in the ocean?

Researchers have developed a novel device for single nanoparticle trapping which has potential applications for drug discovery, disease monitoring, biomedical imaging, and more.

Professor Simone Pigolotti and his team from the Biological Complexity Unit have modeled the spread of COVID-19 within Okinawa to predict its impact.

With the number of COVID-19 cases in Okinawa on the rise, OIST researchers are looking at how they can help the local community.

Scientists create model to measure how cells sense their surroundings.

A little-studied human foot arch is important for walking and running, finds new study.
