A research group led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Yoshitane Imai (Department of Applied Chemistry, Faculty of Science and Engineering, Kindai University), Prof. Dr. Shigeyuki Yagi (Department of Applied Chemistry, Graduate School of Engineering, Osaka Prefecture University), Ken-ichi Yamashita (Department of Chemistry, Graduate School of Science, Osaka University) succeeded in generating “circularly polarized luminescence (CPL)”, which oscillates and rotates in a spiral manner and is used for 3D projection, through a novel method of applying external magnetic force to platinum complexes 1.

Japan s cherry blossoms reach their peak ahead of the expected date. Researchers at Osaka University said that it is the earliest in over 1,200 years based on historical data from the diaries of emperors, aristocrats, governors, and monks.
The peak bloom was on March 26 in the ancient capital of Kyoto, the earliest since Japan s meteorological agency started recording official data in 1953. According to NBC News, it is ten days earlier than the 30-year average of cherry blossoms blooming.
Scientists blame global warming for this unusual early peak of cherry blossoms and said that it is one of the greater looming crises of global warming.

But the last thing we want to do is let our guard down, have enormous crowds at the Tidal Basin and then all of a sudden start to see things swing back up again. The state of Maryland announced that they re actually seeing an increase in cases this week, so we re going to continue to be vigilant. Flatten the curve, CBC says. Even if you ve been vaccinated, you should still avoid medium and large size gathering. So we re going to continue to err on the side of public health until we know that it s safe to welcome pe
Cherry Blossom Season In Japan Had Earliest Peak In 1,200 Years
Cherry blossom season in Japan is an annual spectacle that signals spring – but in 2021, spring has sprung earlier than usual. In fact, this year Kyoto saw the earliest cherry blossom season in 1,209 years, according to data collected by Osaka University.
The 2021 cherry blossoms peaked on March 26, which hasn t occurred since 812 AD, according to the data. The cherry blossoms have come close to beating the record – peaking on March 27 a few times – records show.
Yasuyuki Aono, a researcher at Osaka Prefecture University, wrote in the study that he used diaries and records about cherry blossoms, or sakura, kept by emperors, aristocrats, governors and monks in Kyoto, dating back to 812.
