【Abstract】

Synchrotron radiation (SR) facilities are giant microscopes capable of observing the Nano World. A new SR facility for soft X-rays is under construction at Tohoku University's new Aobayama Campus through public-private regional partnerships and is scheduled to be fully operational from fiscal 2024. To accelerate open innovation in this facility, PhoSIC developed a new scheme of cooperation between academia and industries as 'Coalition concept'.

【Abstract】

The Tohoku of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology will operate the nanomaterials evaluation platform from FY2023. This platform will evaluate materials developed by companies in the region, standardize measurement methods, share information on the characteristics of developed nanomaterials with users nationwide, and lead to the construction of supply chains. Specifically, we aim to expand applications and create new industries such as CO2 separation materials, hydrogen storage products, and electric vehicle parts.
Using this platform as our core competence, we aim to strengthen the competitiveness of SMEs and medium-sized companies in the Tohoku region by collaborating with them. In this presentation, we will introduce an overview of the platform and possible usage examples.
