Osaka Stunned by Anonymous Gift of Gold Bars to Fix Aging Water Pipes
At current rates, the 21 kilos of gold will fetch some 560 million Japanese yen, enough to replace 1.2 miles of pipes.

Superconducting detector captures hot spots with submicron resolution
A research team from Osaka Metropolitan University proposed using a current-biased kinetic inductance detector with submicron 400 megapixels to image hot spots induced by a localized external stimulus over a 15 × 15 mm2 area. The team utilized a delay-line technique to trace the propagation of internal signals for a pair of signals arising from each hot spot.
