*Do you want to build an immune system?
~~~~~~~~~~
With everything else that is our body, the immune system was built from a single cell. That cell would divide to form different populations of cells and—through dizzyingly complex interconnected molecular pathways—build our body. Uncovering the blueprint on how something as fundamental as the immune system is built is the domain of Prof Shinichiro Sawa of Kyushu University's Medical Institute of Bioregulation.

*Generating Stable Qubits at Room Temperature
~~~~~~~~~~
In a study published in Science Advances, a group of researchers led by Associate Professor Nobuhiro Yanai from Kyushu University's Faculty of Engineering, in collaboration with Associate Professor Kiyoshi Miyata from Kyushu University and Professor Yasuhiro Kobori of Kobe University, reports that they have achieved quantum coherence at room temperature: the ability of a quantum system to maintain a well-defined state over time without getting affected by surrounding disturbances.

*Machine learning method speeds up discovery of green energy materials
~~~~~~~~~~
Researchers at Kyushu University, in collaboration with Osaka University and the Fine Ceramics Center, have developed a framework that uses machine learning to speed up the discovery of materials for green energy technology. Using the new approach, the researchers identified and successfully synthesized two new candidate materials for use in solid oxide fuel cells – devices that can generate energy using fuels like hydrogen, which don’t emit carbon dioxide.
