In research and development of high-performance superconducting materials
Towards a prosperous future society
Superconducting materials have special properties not found in other metals or semiconductors, including the property of zero electrical resistance. Superconductivity is a technology necessary for realizing a smart society and improving the performance of medical devices, as seen in its application in MRI imaging diagnostic devices and superconducting linear bullet trains. In our laboratory, we are researching and developing new high-performance superconducting materials that are essential to realizing a prosperous future society by controlling superconducting materials at the nano level.
In my graduation research, I am working on an experiment on a new type of superconductor called a high-entropy alloy. The research facilities are well-equipped, so I recommend this school to those who want to try their hand at cutting-edge research.
