Pioneering trans-scale science

　The importance of observing materials from multiple perspectives is increasing to realize a sustainable society. To understand what is happening within materials, it is necessary to grasp phenomena on various scales. For example, when considering concrete structures, it is essential to capture not only the slow macro-scale deterioration over long periods but also the short-term and localized micro-scale phenomena. Thus, understanding what happens within materials requires a comprehensive view spanning multiple scales. Our unique approach involves capturing these trans-scale phenomena, connecting them through advanced measurement techniques mainly based on synchrotron radiation measurements at NanoTerasu. Our targets span from elementary particles (10-16 m) to infrastructure structures (several meters) and from time frames as short as 10-15 seconds to as long as 109 years. Specifically, we are working on the following research themes:

• Advancement of sensing and analysis technology
• Development of infrastructure monitoring technology using particle and ion measurement
• Development of ion control technology
• Advancement of iontronics
• Exploration of plant monitoring
