<p>A small-bird species, the Japanese tit (<em>Parus minor</em>), uses wing movements as a gesture to convey the message &ldquo;after you,&rdquo; according to new research at the University of Tokyo. When a mating pair arrives at their nest box with food, they will wait outside on perches. One will then often flutter its wings toward the other, apparently indicating for the latter to enter first. The researchers say that this discovery challenges the previous belief that gestural communication is prominent only in humans and great apes, significantly advancing our und...

Tokyo Metropolitan University researchers used boron-nitride nanotubes to create a variety of novel single-walled transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) nanotubes with varying compositions, chirality, and diameters.

<p>Tokyo, Japan &ndash; Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have engineered a range of new single-walled transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) nanotubes with different compositions, chirality, and diameters by templating off boron-nitride nanotubes. They also realized ultra-thin nanotubes grown inside the template, and successfully tailored compositions to create a family of new nanotubes. The ability to synthesize a diverse range of structures offers unique insights into their growth mechanism and novel optical properties.</p>

Research reveals that the molecule cAMP, regulated by the vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in the brain's SCN, is crucial for circadian rhythms, presenting potential new treatments for related health disorders. Circadian rhythms are inherent cycles lasting roughly 24 hours that regulate variou
