A team of scientists travelled to Taiaro Atoll in French Polynesia to seek answers about the existence of a unique community of fishes.

By modifying a classical neural network, researchers have introduced a new model inspired by recent biological findings which shows improved memory performance

Examination of development-relevant gene expression patterns in starfish embryos reveals how echinoderm and chordate body plans evolved from a common ancestor.

Scientists have figured out how to capture brain activity in octopuses that are awake and moving – a breakthrough step in understanding how the brain controls their behavior.

A fluid dynamics simulation has shown that switching pumps on and off can cut energy costs by reducing turbulence in pipes.

Hydrothermal vents in the Okinawa Trough are at imminent threat from deep-sea mining — the damage could also threaten vents across the Pacific Ocean.

Copper and cadmium are highly toxic metals, and deep-sea hydrothermal vents are teeming with them. A new study aims to figure out how bacteria can survive and thrive in their presence.

After identifying genetic variants found only in modern humans, Adjunct Professor Svante Pääbo is now exploring whether these genes have been consequential in our evolution.

Researchers are identifying the quantity, type, and origin of microplastics in Okinawa’s marine animals, both captive and wild.

Their research on the fundamental understanding and applications of perovskite materials and solar cells is attracting attention.

Machine learning drives self-discovery of pulses that stabilize quantum systems in the face of environmental noise

Using insertions and deletions, researchers switch the coenzyme binding of a protein providing the first evidence of a link between distinct chemistries.
