Yusuke Shiota (Cell Function Analysis Research Group, AIST) and Shunsuke Shigaki (National Institute of Informatics) received the Advanced Robotics Best Survey Paper Award at the 44th Annual Conference of the Robotics Society of Japan for their paper "Decoding olfactory mechanisms: molecular functions and robotic applications for odor source localization."
Autonomous Solid-State Nanopore Identifies Biomolecules
An international research team including Kazumichi Yokota of AIST has developed an autonomous solid-state nanopore capable of distinguishing individual DNA nucleotides and amino acids. The technology opens new possibilities for next-generation single-molecule sensing, DNA sequencing, diagnostics, and drug discovery.
