Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Yasuko Terada"
- Yasuko Terada's recent research primarily investigates the elemental and isotopic compositions of samples from the asteroid Ryugu, revealing that its nickel and iron isotopic compositions suggest a shared accretion region with CI chondrites, providing insights into the conditions in the early solar system.
- Additionally, the studies included non-destructive techniques like synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence (SR-XRF) to analyze trace elements in biological systems, such as cesium distribution in mouse kidneys, and highlighted the dynamic presence of various elements in both natural and artificial materials.
- Terada's work also extends to understanding the structural alterations of neurons in schizophrenia, using nanometer-scale imaging to reveal differences in the three-dimensional configurations of brain tissues between schizophrenia patients and control subjects, emphasizing the intersection of astrophysical and biological research.
