The musical style called fusion lasted only a few years in the West but caught on in Japan. I supposed that's natural for a nation whose symbol is a fusion-fueled fireball. The exponents were T Square and Cassiopeia, which are getting pretty old but still doing it. Their influence was mostly...

It seems that everyone can move in sync in Japan, even little kids. I've wondered, what would happen if they practiced really hard and took it to the max? Now we know. Listen to that crowd roar. Wow. And these are amateurs. That's just the way it is over there. They do everything this way.

The origin of advanced eukaryotic cells (that make up all higher organisms (protists, plants, fungi, animals)) have been hypothesized to involve an archaeal cell internalizing a formerly free living alphaproteobacterium. PF threads on this are here and here. Japanese researchers have isolated...

More a sociological question. I was talking to a former Japanese colleague by email recently and he mentioned that the Copenhagen interpretation is almost universally accepted there. I already knew Huzihiro Araki and many other researchers from Japan in mathematical field theory take a fairly...

For several years, I've been seeing mention of growing number of residential fuel cells in Japan. But in the USA and the EU, hardly a mention. Does anyone know why the puzzling discrepancy? The American company Plug Power has been pushing fuel cells since 1997, but their penetration seems...

Quite recent, so updates will follow. Over the radio in NZ, it is said a tsunami warning has been issued. Magnitude 7.3 at the moment, possibly be revised. http://www.stuff.co.nz/world/asia/86723022/big-earthquake-near-japan

I am writing an article on the development of Japanese mathematics during Japan's Sakoku, (closed from the world) period. While going through a book (http://2020ok.com/books/42/a-history-of-japanese-mathematics-41542.htm), I came to know about how Seki Kowa, and then later Takebe, developed what...

With all but one of the Japanese nuclear plants offline (and the last one due to shut down in early May), how are the utilities continuing to meet demand? I read in various places statements such as "Japan has been importing unprecedented amounts of coal, oil and natural gas, resulting in...

So I admittedly am not hugely knowledgeable about Nuclear energy and radiation which is why I decided to post on here. I am planning on moving to Japan at the end of September as I thought the area I'm going to was not threatened by radiation enough to be a problem based on information I found...

I been trying to look into e-mail etiquette in Japanese culture. I do not speak Japanese actually. The person I was refereed to did reply in English. I was wondering if last name-san is sufficient or do I need something else. I am trying to purchase a metal that they only forge for my...

Is it possible? Sorry if it's a dumb question, but can radiation in the jet stream from Japan cause severe weather? Is that possible? I've been looking at weather radar a lot lately and I've never seen such activity on such a large scale, and it seems rather isolated in the jet stream area...

The french IRSN just released a new report concerning the estimated contamination around DAICHI, i extract this map for the Cs contamination based on SPEEDI/MEXT estimations. The complete report is here (french)...

Hi everyone, just kind of a general question here. I'm a physics major undergrad at Texas Christian University. I'm also minoring in Japanese, and will be close to proficient in the language by the time I graduate, including hiragana, katakana, and kanji writing systems. In general, in the scope...

There is much that I do not know specifically about this incident or about TEPCO’s policies and procedures for these events. I am not interested in assigning blame. Japan has authorities to handle that. A great deal of reconstruction, establishing timelines, evaluating communications, etc...

There is so much conflicting information so I hope it's okay to post here and ask the experts(I'm assuming you're experts). I live 180 km south east of Tokyo and don't know how far I should trust the media and government. Two of my friends have decided to leave the area with their children and...

Could anyone who actually works on this kind of thing answer a couple of questions about the current situation in Japans nuclear crisis : Is it true that cooling pools for spent fuel rods are stored on the rooves of these reactors ? If so we see two of these rooves have been blown off - so...

I keep hearing how it is not as serious as Chernobyl and many other conclusions.. but I see a siituation that keeps getting worse.. 4 reactors in danger of melting down, exploding fission materials. What is it going to take to get it under control? With most workers sent home due to...

There is a lot of speculation about this. Is that really possible? It is being proposed that after meltdown and release the nuclear material will enter the Jet Stream and be in west Coast US in a few days. Personally I find it hard to swallow. I mean we exploded two nuclear devices over...

I have a question about nuclear fission reactors. If the reaction is stopped, then why do the fuel rods continue to heat up after being exposed to air to the point where it could cause a meltdown. Thank you Jim

http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/edwest/100079703/why-is-there-no-looting-in-japan/ I had the same question even before seeing many blogs on this. I agree with the blogger of this article - solidarity seems especially strong in Japan. Kudos to the Japanese.

the article at http://www.marketwatch.com/story/feds-leaked-radiation-from-japan-wont-hurt-us-2011-03-13 says that the radiationw ont affect the US but id ont think its correct as nuclear radiation can move aorund at fas rate to go to atleast he coastal areas of U.S any opinions?

Does anyone have any reliable info on the nuclear plants - the reports on the news seem garbled to me. Edit by Borek: To All: Please stick to technical aspects and to things happening at the Fukushima Daiichi NPP. There are several other threads discussing different aspects of the...

My father was in WWII and got deployed to Japan within weeks after the bombs were dropped. What is the possibility that he suffered any radiation effects? He was 28 at the time and died when he was 43 - I always wondered if any of his illnesses were a result of being in Japan at that time and...
