Delivery of synthetic receptors to tumor cell membranes using both synthetic and biological nanoparticles led to effective treatment of cancer....read more
We have developed a new user authentication method based on eye scanpaths on multiple images. Even for the same images eye scanpaths vary from person to person and are reflexive without any intentional control for absolutely safe authentication. It may be regarded as an interview approach for user authentication, but questions and answers are made on the basis of visual images and eye scanpaths, respectively....read more
This research aims to analyze refinery CO2 emission sources and to suggest the best CO2 management strategy for it by taking a systematic approach....read more

The rise of atmospheric CO2 concentration has resulted in serious environmental problems. Dry reforming of methane (DRM) has gained tremendous attention because carbon dioxide can be converted into more useful chemicals with methane, which is also one of the most important greenhouse gases. In DRM research, noble metal catalysts have been extensively studied, but their high cost is a major obstacle. Nickel, which is considered to be promising due to its high activity but affordable price, has shown severe coke formation leading to rapid deactivation of catalysts so far. However, our nickel catalysts show high activity with exceptional durability for 600 hours of reaction. We believe these catalysts can contribute to environment and industries....read more
The fabrication of emulsion droplets stabilized by solid particles adsorbed on the interface is restricted to delicate interfacial conditions. This research shows a general approach to prepare them using the depletion interaction, modified by soluble polymers, between particles and emulsions. ...read more
Augmented Reality Research Center (ARRC) is currently participating in the Situation, Human, Environment, and Natural Interaction (SHE&I) project. The work aims to develop the natural response and interaction expression/reinforcement technology based on the Holistic Quantified Self (HQS), and to test the efficacy of the HQS, a testbed is being constructed. In order to make an HQS of a user, information regarding the physical, emotional, social, and behavioral states are compiled and computed through multimodal sensors in the user’s smartphone and other wearable devices. The intelligent agent with HQS can negotiate the environment, and agent-based context-aware services are implemented through a smart home testbed in which Internet of Things (IoT) devices are deployed....read more
Photon-counting detectors can be used to obtain energy-specific X-ray medical images. This allows four colors to appear in X-ray image and allows differentiation of materials in the image. As a result, more accurate diagnosis will be made....read more
Alterations in morphological, biochemical, and mechanical properties of individual diabetic red blood cells were quantitatively and non-invasively studied employing a 3-D quantitative phase imaging technique. No significant alterations were observed in the morphological and biochemical parameters of diabetic red blood cells compared to the healthy ones. However, membrane fluctuations of the diabetic red blood cells were significantly diminished and exhibited negative correlation with HbA1c levels, implying a deteriorated deformability of diabetic RBCs....read more
Consistent with the results from previous studies obtained with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients, heightened empathic behavior was observed in the mouse model of AD. The behavior is associated with synchronized brain activity between the insula and amygdala. These findings provide a potential network connectivity mechanism for how and why patients with AD are easily influenced by the emotional state of caregivers....read more
