In addition, SANKEN Incubation Building including Osaka University’s first on-campus rental laboratories for private corporations (Company Research Park) as a novel open innovation core has been completed in April, 2010. On the basis of these two epoch-making achievements in addition to the reorganization of ISIR in last year toward the new stage of our multidisciplinary research, ISIR stands at the starting point for developing our new history. ISIR was founded in 1939 with only 3 laboratories by the financial support from industries of KANSAI area to promote basic science for the development of industry. From then, ISIR has emphasized basic and applied researches to promote the multidisciplinary science for ultimate contribution to the industries in three main research areas, i.e., material science, information science and bio-science. In 2002, we founded the Japan’s first university-attached Nanoscience & Nanotechnology Center. At present, we have 27 full-size laboratories divided into three divisions, i.e., Division of Information and Quantum Sciences, Division of Materials and Beam Sciences, and Division of Biological and Molecular Sciences, and Nanoscience & Nanotechnology Center. Now we aim to develop multidisciplinary sciences focusing Green Nanoscience and Bio-Nanoscience. ISIR has also close contact with six graduate schools of Osaka University including Graduate Schools of Engineering, Science, Engineering Science, Pharmaeutical Science, Frontier Bioscience and Information Science and Technology. Started from 2010, we promote the Strategic Alliance Project for Creation of Nano-Materials, Nano-devices and Nano-systems with five university-attached institutes, i.e., RIES of Hokkaido Univ., IMRAM of Tohoku Univ., CRL of Tokyo Inst. Tec., ISIR of Osaka Univ. And IMCE of Kyushu Univ. This publication “Memoirs of the Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research (ISIR)” is our annual publication summarizing the scientific activities of ISIR.㻌 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. 㸫㸫 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 after restructuring Research Center for Intermaterials and Radiation Laboratory. The new Center focuses its research on nanomaterials and devices, beam science for nanotechnology and industrial nanotechnology. In 2003, the Center Building was constructed. In the new Center Building, there is a Nanotechnology Process Foundry for supporting the nationwide research in the nanotechnology field. In 2006, Materials Science &Technology Research Center for Industrial Creation between ISIR and IMRAM (Tagenken) in Tohoku Univ. has started and then expanded to the Post-Silicon Materials and Devices Research Alliance including RIES 㸫㸫 (Denshiken) in Hokkaido Univ. and CRL (Shigenken) in TIT next year. In 2006, Academia Industry Relation Office (AIR-Office) has been settled in order to strengthen cooperation between the institute and industries. In 2008, Division of special project has been founded for promotion of research by young faculties. In 2009, we have made a great restructuring since 1995 in order to develop the novel interdisciplinary research fields and exercise leadership in nanotechnology research field into 3 great divisions (Division of Information and Quantum Sciences, Division of Material and Beam Sciences, and Division of Biological and Molecular Sciences) and expanded Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Center. We newly established the Center for Research Education and Training and the Center for International Collaboration. Former Materials Analysis Center was joined with Electron Microscope Laboratory and restricted into the Comprehensive Analysis Center. Research Laboratory for Quantum Beam Science was separated from Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Center for facilitating the collaboration in the beam science field. In order to establish a core for academia-industry collaboration and open innovation, we constructed the SANKEN Incubation Building including Osaka University’s first on-campus rental laboratories for private corporations (Company Research Park) in 2010. ISIR Manufacturing Factory has been moved into the building. In addition, Nanoscience Techno-Core, Company Research Park and Osaka University Renovation Center was settled in the building. In 2010, the Network Joint Research Center for Materials and Devices including ISIR, IMRAM, RIES, CRL and IMCE (Sendoken) in Kyushu Univ. has been started. ISIR is a headquarters of this 5 institutes network. 㸫㸫 Divisions Departments Division 1 Information & Quantum Sciences Photonic and Electronic Materials Semiconductor Electronics Advanced Electronics Intelligent Media Reasoning for Intelligence Knowledge Systems Architecture for Intelligence Quantum Information Photonics (Alliance Laboratory of ISIR, Osaka Univ. and RIES, Hokkaido Univ.)

  • Research and Innovation Capabilities : Insights on India's Plunge Into Nanotechnology
    Research and Innovation Capabilities : Insights on India’s plunge into Nanotechnology Anand, Manish The Energy and Resources Institute, India 1. Introduction Nanotechnology is expected to be one of the main drivers of future industries‟ development and economic growth (see, for instance, Huang et al., 2004; Hullmann, 2007; Kostoff et al., 2007; Meyer et al., 2008; Salerno et al., 2008 ; Roco et al., 2010). Nanotechnology‟s significant potential for technological change and for current and future world markets becomes apparent when looking at its market size and its growth potential. Estimates by market research and industry analysis show that the market for the nanotechnology was 11.67 billion US$ in 2009 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 17.5% during 2016-2022 (BCC, 2010; RNCOS, 2015). The promise of the socio-economic benefits that could be derived from nanotechnology has resulted in both developed and developing country investment and R&D engagement with nanotechnology, as the UNESCO Science Report: Towards 2030 explains. Indeed, the USA formally marked the start of an international technology race in nanotechnology, with the launching of its „National Nanotechnology Initiative‟ in January 2000, consecrating the phenomenal amount of US$270 million to this promising field. The rest of the world has followed suite with minimal delay – presumably to avoid the technological lag. The EU Framework Program for Research and Technological Development in Europe made it one of its themes in the 5th Framework Programme (1998–2002), with an overall budget of €14.96 billion. Developing and transition economies of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS) have also given nanotechnology a high priority, and all countries have defined a national plan for its development.

Sol-gel engineering to tune structural colours Marco Faustini1* 1Sorbonne Université, CNRS, Collège de France UMR 7574 Chimie de la Matière Condensée de Paris, F-75005 Paris, France [email protected] Abstract For several decades, the sol-gel process allows the fabrication of functional materials through the strong coupling between materials chemistry and advanced processing. This branch of material’s science is generally associated to the formation of oxide and hybrid materials obtained through a transition between a sol and a gel. Engineering the sol-gel process to extend same principles to other classes of materials is an emerging and promising research line. These aspects will be illustrated in this article by reviewing the successful case of optical materials with tunable structural colors.

This originates from the outstanding demonstrations obtained in the last two decades of the possibility to control the organization of matter at the scale of few atoms and molecules, to address their properties and to obtain functional systems with potential exploitation in the fi elds of health, environment, energy and communication. Research in nanoscience requires direct sensitivity to the atomic scale and to the fundamental time scale of the processes ruling the assembly of matter and the interactions with light, electric current, and molecules at all levels of complexity, from the gases of the atmosphere to proteins and DNA.

  • From the Desk of the Consul-General
    From the Desk of the Consul-General Consul-General Dr. Kazayuki Katayama September 2013-August 2015 The Consulate-General of Japan in Detroit Detroit, MI August 2015 From the Desk of Consul General of Japan in Detroit (Preface) I have served for nearly two years as the Consul General of Japan, in my jurisdiction of both Michigan and Ohio, from September, 2013 to August, 2015. I focused on the promotion of economics, politics, culture, public relations education and consular affairs, as well as the expansion of person-to-person exchanges in various areas between Japan and the 2 states. The consulate opened in 1993 and I am the 10th Consul General. During my term, I often visited local governments, companies, universities and colleges, Japanese weekend schools, branches of the Japan-America Society and the Japanese associations in various parts of the 2 states in order to foster the understanding of Japan’s policies, including its foreign policy, among the Americans here. I traveled to Ohio 66 times and Michigan (beyond Metro Detroit) 45 times. I visited universities/colleges 43 times, companies 24 times and Japanese weekend schools 14 times. I recited approximately 110 speeches and lecture and invited guests to my residence, to serve them Japanese food and Sake, about 200 times. My goals in participating in these activities were twofold. First, I aimed to convince Americans that Japan is a trustworthy and strong partner to the U.S. Second, I earnestly set out to provide quality services to local Japanese residence and portray the Consulate General as both conscientious and dependable.
