Land-based aquacultural using “the new type of water” featured in the English listening section of the Common Test for university admissions

Okayama University of Science
Business Announcement

Japan’s national university entrance examination featured a land-based aquaculture method using a “new type of water” in its English listening test. The water, described as freshwater enriched with minerals from seawater, enables marine fish farming in landlocked regions and reflects the characteristics of The Third Water, a technology developed by Okayama University of Science.

New global review reveals integrating finance, technology, and governance is key to equitable climate action

Biochar Editorial Office, Shenyang Agricultural University
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A new global review highlights that tackling climate change requires more than funding or innovation alone. Researchers emphasize that meaningful climate action depends on the coordinated integration of financial systems, technological solutions, and governance reforms. The study presents a comprehensive framework designed to help countries, especially developing nations, implement effective and equitable climate strategies.

Next generation genetics technology developed to counter the rise of antibiotic resistance

University of California - San Diego
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Drug resistance has accelerated in recent years with the emergence of deadly bacteria and “superbugs.” In response to this global health crisis, UC San Diego biologists have developed a new CRISPR-based technology capable of removing antibiotic-resistant elements from populations of bacteria.

New artificial intelligence tool may help personalize ovarian cancer treatment from day one

University of Minnesota Medical School
Peer-Reviewed Publication

MINNEAPOLIS/ST. PAUL (02/09/2026) — Researchers from the University of Minnesota Medical School, in collaboration with Emory University and the Georgia Institute of Technology, have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) biomarker tool that may help predict how ovarian cancer patients will respond to treatment at the time of diagnosis. The findings were published today in the British Journal of Cancer ReportsExternal link that opens in the same window.

Understanding how cancer cells use water pressure to move through the body

Kyushu University
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Cancer cells often invade different tissues by forming rounded protrusions called blebs. However, the exact mechanism behind this expansion remained unclear. Now, researchers at Kyushu University have discovered that cancer cells use protein clusters to create water pressure inside blebs, which pushes the cell membrane outward, enabling rapid movement. This newly identified mechanism, named “CaMKII-based osmotically-driven deformation or CODE,” reveals a unique physical process that drives the spread of cancer cells inside the body.
