Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology researchers recovered mantle rock samples from a Mariana Trench foray using a remotely operated vehicle, giving geologists fresh material to study how ocean plates bend and hydrate.
RIKEN’s iTHEMS program ran aftershock sequence models for the Noto peninsula on the Fugaku supercomputer, feeding revised slope-stability maps to Ishikawa prefecture ahead of winter reconstruction.
A RIKEN SPring-8 team published synchrotron maps showing how strain fields shift inside oxide solid-state battery prototypes when cells are fast-charged, giving automakers a benchmark before pilot lines expand.
A balloon-borne instrument team mapped low-energy gamma rays from the galactic center using geometric optics techniques borrowed from visible astronomy.
Niigata University engineers are field-testing soil sensors after September storms saturated slopes across the prefecture’s river valleys.
