All animals and plants have an innate, or non-specific, immune system to fight infection and disease. Unlike innate immune cells, cells in the adaptiv...
Interactions between light and matter occur all around us, from the lenses in our eyes to photosynthesis. The Light-Matter Interactions for Quantum Te...
The Embodied Cognitive Science Unit investigates the hypothesis that agent-environment interaction is an essential part of, rather than only a product...
When we are young, our brains adapt at the whim of our sensory environments. The Neuronal Mechanism for Critical Period Unit studies how this “criti...
Quantum materials are governed by how their electrons interact. In metals, such as copper, electrons largely ignore one another, but in quantum materi...
The Marine Biophysics Unit examines how ocean currents affect the marine life of hydrothermal vents and coral reefs around Okinawa. Using buoy deploym...
