<p>Our bodies are made up of trillions of different cells, each fulfilling their own unique function to keep us alive. How do cells move around inside these extremely complicated systems? How do they know where to go? And how did they get so complicated to begin with? Simple yet profound questions like these are at the heart of curiosity-driven basic research, which focuses on the fundamental principles of natural phenomena. A constellation of researchers from three different research units at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) came together to answer basic questions ...

A group of scientists from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) and Tohoku University have been able to conduct accurate and effective fluid manipulation in three-dimensional microscale settings.

It's well understood that populations of species don't distribute at random. Rather, as populations grow, individuals are organized around barriers in the landscape

Highlights Scientists have developed a new method that improves dispensing of viscoelastic fluids - a vital process for circuit board production, 3D...

 E-Mail New research from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) has found a surprising randomness for how fluids choose their path around obstacles that depends on their spacing. This has important implications for a range of scenarios - from oil recovery and groundwater remediation, to understanding the movement of fluids through biological systems. The research was published in Physical Review Letters. Scientists from OIST's Micro/Bio/Nanofluidics Unit created a tiny set up comprised of two microscopic cylinders, each around the width of a human hair...
