Pursuing development methods for high-temperature superconducting magnets
- Aiming to realize compact and versatile NMR -
Assistant Professor Takanori Motoki
Assistant Professor Takanori Motoki's research has been selected for NEDO's "Mito Challenge 2050" as the establishment of bulk magnet growth technology that realizes high-temperature superconductivity will lead to the miniaturization and power saving of NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) devices used in a wide range of fields. NMR devices used for structural analysis of organic compounds etc. need to be cooled to extremely low temperatures, but the high-temperature superconducting magnet growth technology developed by Assistant Professor Motoki is expected to lead to operation in a wider temperature range than before, realizing the development of easier-to-use devices.

Discovering the mathematical formula that describes the movement of chromosomes within cells
~Unraveling the mysteries of life from a physical perspective~
Professor Takahiro Sakaue
A collaborative research project involving Professor Takahiro Sakaue, who discovered that the movement of chromosomes within living cells can be expressed in a physically simple mathematical formula based on Brownian motion, has been published in the prestigious scientific journal "Physical Review Letters." The biological field of intracellular movement is viewed from a physical perspective based on the concept of Brownian motion, and the movement of chromosomes (chromatin) moving within cells is expressed in a simple mathematical formula. It is expected that this will lead to elucidation of the mechanisms of heredity in the future.
