The Hakubi Project

The importance of nanotechnology to freely control materials at the atomic and molecular scale (10^(-9) m = 1 nm (nanometer)) is increasing for development such as catalysts that enable material conversion for realizing a sustainable recycling society and electronic materials that miniaturize devices around us. Everything is made up of a combination of various atoms, therefore, chemistry allows creating materials by controlling atoms.

In this seminar, I would like to introduce nano-sized metal particles (metal nanoparticles) and their general synthesis and applications. Also, I will show some new nanomaterials which I synthesized and their unique properties such as catalytic properties. I would like to discuss new applications of metal nanoparticles etc through this seminar.

Opening talk
"小惑星Koarimatsuと10月15日の木星表面衝突閃光"

• Speaker： Associate Professor Ko Arimatsu(Hakubi 11th batch, Graduate School of Science)
• Presentation Language：Japanese

Summary

2021年6月11日に国際天文学連合(IAU)によって小惑星のひとつに”Koarimatsu”と命名された件について報告する。

また2021年10月15日に京都大学吉田キャンパスに設置した観測装置を用いて、木星表面で発生した小天体による衝突閃光現象の発見に成功したことについて速報する。
