The production of clean and renewable hydrogen through water splitting using photocatalysts
has received much attention due to the increasing global energy crises. In this study, a …

Obesity is heritable and predisposes to many diseases. To understand the genetic basis of
obesity better, here we conduct a genome-wide association study and Metabochip meta-…

Double-network (DN) gels have drawn much attention as an innovative material having both
high water content (ca. 90 wt%) and high mechanical strength and toughness. DN gels are …

Very strong hydrogels (with a fracture strength of some tens of MPa), as required for both
industrial and biomedical applications, have been generated by inducing a double‐network (…

Using genome-wide data from 253,288 individuals, we identified 697 variants at genome-wide
significance that together explained one-fifth of the heritability for adult height. By testing …

Hydrogels attract great attention as biomaterials as a result of their soft and wet nature,
similar to that of biological tissues. Recent inventions of several tough hydrogels show their …

Brain expression of CB2 cannabinoid receptors has been much less well established and
characterized in comparison to the expression of brain CB1 receptors. Since CB2 receptors …

Bright two-photon fluorescent probes are highly desirable to be able to optically probe
biological activities deep inside living organisms with larger imaging depth, minor …

Opening and tuning an energy gap in graphene are central to many electronic applications
of graphene. Here we report N-doped graphene obtained by NH 3 annealing after N + -ion …

Visible light photocatalytic H 2 production through water splitting is of great importance for its
potential application in converting solar energy into chemical energy. In this study, a novel …
