From then, ISIR has emphasized basic and applied researches to promote the multidisciplinary science for ultimate contribution to the industries in 3 main research areas, i.e., material science, information science, and bio-sciences. At present, we have 7 divisions including 28 departments and 3 research Centers, "Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Center" , "Materials Analysis Center" and "Materials Science & Technology Research Center for Industrial Creation". “Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Center” is focusing the researches on advanced materials and devices, beam-science for nanotechnology which is key technology now and future and then it’s one of the leading research organizations in Japan. ISIR has also close contact with several faculties of Osaka University such as Faculties of Science, Engineering, Engineering Science, Pharmaceutical Science, Information Science and Technology, Frontier Biosciences, and supervises their graduate students. From 2002 through 2006, the Institute was selected as the 21st Century COE in the fields of new and interdisciplinary area. This publication "Memoirs of the Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research (ISIR)" is our annual publication summarizing the scientific activities of ISIR. We have particulate plan for the future, and our challenges are never ending. We hope this annual publication will be useful and stimulating for all researchers and young scientists outside as well as inside our Institute. ISIR will continue to make contributions to the development of industry through basic science and technology and inspire the future. - 1 - Outline of ISIR 1. Research Activities 1) History and Organization The Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research (ISIR) was founded in 1939 as a part of Osaka University, based on the strong desire of the business leaders of private enterprises in Osaka area. The purpose of the Institute is to study science necessary for industry and their applications. Since then, the institute had developed into one of the leading research organizations for science and engineering in Japan. In 1939 ISIR had only 3 departments, however it had increased research areas and laboratories in the fields of electronic engineering, computer science, metallurgy and inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and beam science. Modern industry in this country is, however, coming to a major turning point. There is a strong requirement to develop interdisciplinary sciences, or new fields which are away from conventional area in order to advance basic and applied sciences coping with social changes. Since this Institute has researchers in a wide variety of fields and is suitable for making a new organization for interdisciplinary areas, it was restructured in 1995 to an Institute with 6 divisions with 24 departments for the purpose of promoting sciences on materials, information and biology. For solving problems related to energy, earth ecology, aging and advanced information technology, interdisciplinary and comprehensive studies have been conducted in the Institute. From 2002 through 2006, we have awarded as the best group in 21st Century COE program that is originally the top 20 group plan in Japan. This involves the positive exchange between different laboratories which yield results of the global level with respect to material, information and biotechnology. In 2002, Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Center has started with restructuring Research Center for Intermaterials and Radiation Laboratory. The new Center focuses its researches on nanomaterials and devices, beam science for nanotechnology and industrial nanotechnology. In 2006, Materials Science & Technology Research Center for Industrial Creation has started and at present, ISIR has 7 divisions including 28 departments and 3 research Centers, "Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Center" , "Materials Analysis Center" and "Materials Science & Technology Research Center for Industrial Creation". In April 2006, Academia Industry Relation Office (AIR-Office) has been settled in order to strengthen cooperation between the Institute and Industries. - 2 - Divisions Departments Quantum Engineering Quantum Molecular Devices Photonic and Electronic Materials Semiconductor Electronics Condensed Matter Physics Advanced Materials Structural Characterization and Design Science & Technology Metallic Materials Process Atomic Scale Science Functional Ceramic Materials Structure Ceramic Materials Advanced-Energy Materials Organic Molecular Science Regulatory Bioorganic Chemistry Organic Fine Chemicals Organic Molecular Materials Molecular Excitation Chemistry Synthetic Organic Chemistry Analytical Molecular Chemistry Intelligent Systems Science Knowledge Systems Intelligent Media Architecture for Intelligence Advanced Reasoning Biological Science Structural Molecular Biology Single Molecule Biophysics Cell Membrane Biology Quantum Beam Accelerator Science Science & Technology Beam Materials Science Next Industry Generation New Industrial Projection New Industry Generation Systems Intellectual Property Research Research Centers (Three Centers) Nanoscience and Nanomaterials and Nanodevices Nanotechnology Center Artificial Nanomaterials for Bio-Information Systems Single-Molecular Integrated Devices Supramolecular Chemistry Nanobiology Nanosystem Design - 3 - Beam Science for Nanotechnology Beam Science and Nanofabrication Quantum Beams for Nanotechnology Beam Processing for Nanotechnology Ultrafast Spectroscopy of Nanostructures Nanoscience and Nanotechnology for Industrial Applications Nanomaterials and Environmentally Conscious Technology Computational Nanomaterials Design Nano-Bio-Intelligent Systems Science Nanotechnology Transfer Nanocharacterization Advanced Nanostructural Characterization Advanced Characterization for Nano-Processing Quantum Materials and Devices Characterization Open Laboratory Radiation Laboratory Electron Microscope Laboratory Electronic Processing Laboratory Nanofabrication Shop Nanotechnology Process Foundry Materials Analysis Center Materials Science & Technology Materials Research Project Research Center for Industrial iiHard Materials Research Group Creation iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiSoft Materials Research Group Human Interface Research for Safety and Security Project Medical Sciences Research Group Human Interface Research Group Service Facilities Workshop Office of Information Network Laboratory for Radio-Isotope Experiments Library Academia Industry Relations Office Public Relations Office - 4 - Staffs’ Age (years old) –As of 3.31.2007 35～44 60～63 60～63 50～59 2 45～49 1 4 45～49 4 6 12 3 35～39 No. No. 9 55～59 7 50～54 40～44 16 Professors Associate Professors 60～63 55～59 25～29 50～54 3 5 4 ～ 2 45 49 3 40～ 44 4 No. 25 30～34 35～39 18 Research Associataes Staffs’ Alma Mater –As of 3.30.2007 Foreign Univ.
