When a lithium electrolyte material was synthesized from three kinds of lithium-containing oxyacid salts, the optimum composition for realizing high lithium ion conductivity was predicted, using AI methods, and confirmed by experimental design. This is considered promising to develop new high-performance materials. Fujitsu news release, March 16, 2018

A research team led by Kao’s Life Science Research Institute has developed a highly efficient homologous recombination procedure for Rhizopus sp., based on TALEN genomic editing with short-length single-stranded DNA. Using this technology, a pyruvate decarboxylase (pdc) gene behind an adh promoter was inserted into the Rhizopus genome, leading to 1,2-fold increase of fumaric acid […]
