Producing a New Light Source for the 21st Century

Thinking it would be too difficult to realize within the 20th century, many researchers abandoned development of high-performance New Flagship Research Initiatives blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs). However, Nagoya University professor Isamu Akasaki remained steadfast in his research for 20 The Kobayashi-Maskawa Institute for the Origin of Particles and the Universe (KMI) Nagoya University Green Mobility Collaborative Research Center–Realizing a Low-Carbon Society– years. In 1989, he succeeded in becoming the first to achieve the Disaster Mitigation Research Center (DMRC) goal of producing a new light source for the 21st century. Nagoya University Young Leaders Cultivation Program (YLC Program) Professor Akasaki achieved this by using the compound gallium nitride (GaN), revolutionizing the field of semiconductor research. Blue LEDs offer immeasurable benefits to society, and are utilized today in a wide range of technologies such as traffic lights, large-scale display monitors, next-generation optical memory discs, and even home lighting. The applicability of GaN and related Global COE Programs at Nagoya University semiconductors does not end with its use in light sources. It is Prof. Gen SOBUE, Graduate School of Medicine also expected that they can be applied to such technologies as Prof. Naoshi SUGIYAMA, Graduate School of Science ultra high-speed, high-power transistors and UV detectors, which Prof. Toshio FUKUDA, Graduate School of Engineering will be indispensable in an IT-based society. Prof. Tetsuzo YASUNARI, Hydrospheric Atmospheric Research Center

During his life as a researcher, Professor Akasaki held fast to his idea that “Once you've resolved to accomplish something, never give up.”

Among the many awards he has received, in 2004, in honor of Other Research Achievements the research results he achieved with such unwavering resolve, he was recognized as a Person of Cultural Merit by the Japanese government for his significant contributions to culture.

Four Nobel Laureates Demonstrate Nagoya University's World-class Research Excellence

Nobel Prize in Physics, 2008 In October 2008, the Academy announced its award of the Professor Maskawa graduated from Nagoya University's Nobel Prize in Physics to three esteemed scientists: Yoichiro School of Science in 1962. After completing his doctoral Nambu (USA), and Nagoya University graduates Toshihide course in science in 1967, he continued his career as a research Maskawa, a Distinguished Invited University Professor at associate in the science department, then as a professor of Nagoya University, professor emeritus at Kyoto University, the Institute of Nuclear Study at the University of Tokyo and and professor of physics at Kyoto Sangyo University, and later as a professor at Kyoto University's Yukawa Institute for Makoto Kobayashi, professor emeritus at the High Energy Theoretical Physics (YITP). In 2003, he became a professor at Accelerator Research Organization (KEK). The two Nagoya Kyoto Sangyo University's Faculty of Science, and in October University scientists received the Nobel Prize for forecasting, 2007 was appointed Distinguished Invited University Professor over three decades ago, “the discovery of the origin of the at Nagoya University. broken symmetry which predicts the existence of at least three families of quarks in nature.” In 1972, the two presented their Professor Kobayashi graduated from Nagoya University in 1967 Kobayashi-Maskawa theory, which states that CP symmetry and, after completing his doctoral course in science in 1972, Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 2001 violation can be explained with six types of quarks, one of the became a research associate at Kyoto University's Faculty of subatomic particles that constitute matter. This theory was Science. He later became a professor at KEK, the High Energy In October 2001, the Royal Swedish Academy announced its medicines, aromatic chemicals, and materials in harmony with proved in 1995 with the discovery of the sixth quark, known Accelerator Research Organization, and then director of the award of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Dr. Ryoji Noyori and the natural environment. as the top quark. Among the numerous theories attempting to Institute of Particle and Nuclear Studies at KEK before becoming Dr. W. S.

B. Sharpless (USA) for of Industrial Chemistry, Faculty of Engineering at Kyoto remains the most concise and well-formed, and today is one of his work on chirally catalyzed oxidation reactions. Their research University, and later was appointed associate professor at the key components of the standard model of particle physics. – an important topic of study in the 20th century – enabled Dr. Nagoya University, involved in synthetic organic chemistry. Noyori and his fellow laureates to realize their dream of making After switching his research base from Nagoya University possible the artificial and preferential production of enantiomers. to Harvard for postdoctoral work, he returned to Nagoya Enantiomers are molecules existing in many organic compounds University and become a full professor in 1972. The research that are mirror images of each other but not identical, i.e., with contacts he made with many renowned chemists offered a right- and left-side relationship but with each side having a him expanded opportunity to continue his search for the different character. While one side could become a promising development and application of new methodologies in the medicine, the other could equally become a dangerous toxin. field of organic chemistry. Presently, Dr. Noyori is an organic It has therefore become a major issue in chemistry to find chemist based at Nagoya University and president of the ways to preferentially produce right- and left-side products.

Thus, the DMRC promotes cooperative multidisciplinary research for developing a state-of-the-art disaster mitigation model, and applying it to ensure the local community is safe and secure. The DMRC provides a cooperative framework for local government, companies, and citizens to improve the preparedness of the local community for future natural hazards. In addition, the DMRC offers disaster mitigation training courses for local public officers and volunteers.
