Date Time Extinct Niobium Isotope Reveals Long-Kept Secrets of Solar System Evidence of extinct radionuclides like Niobium-92, which formed before the birth of our Solar System, has been identified in meteorites. Using this evidence, scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) ETH Zürich, National Institute of Polar Research, and Konkoly Observatory pinpointed the initial abundance of Niobium-92 by studying rare rutile and zircon minerals from meteoritic fragments. This allowed th...

Share Tokyo Tech’s Data Science for Particle and Nuclear Physics 2020 (DSPN2020), a lecture and practical training series for high school students, was held on six Saturdays between October and December 2020. DSPN2020 participants on Day One The online workshops, supported by Tokyo Tech’s STEM Education for Younger Generations fund, attracted twenty-one 1st and 2nd-year high schoolers from around Japan. The aim was to introduce the group to frontline accelerator experiments, and to offer pr...

Tokyo Tech team develops high-performance bimetallic OER electrocatalyst for water splitting 2O 4. This inexpensive, non-toxic, and easy-to-synthesize material outperforms other bimetallic OER electrocatalysts and even surpasses the benchmark set by iridium oxide, paving the way to accessible hydrogen generation. Sugawara 2O 4 is stable during repeated potential cycles without any significant current loss. The study is published in the journal ACS Applied Energy Materials. Currently, the bes...

Melodies of 1960’s pop hit tinkle from the speakers along Ookayama’s shotengai (shopping street). A village-like area home to young students, families and older generations who grew up in the neighborhood, Ookayama has an easy ambiance to it — a small-town hush that makes it feel almost like a separate entity to the high-speed living of the city. Ookayama Station shares the stunning eco-friendly building designed by architect Yasuda Koichi with Tokyu Hospital. Photo by Rebecca Saunders I...
