The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) will hold explanations on the use of the next-generation synchrotron radiation facility "Nanoterrace" at 2024 venues nationwide from June 6, ahead of the start of operation in 26 at Tohoku University's Aobayama Campus in Aoba Ward, Sendai City. hold a meeting.

 文科省によると、説明会の日程は▽6月26日=東北大学青葉山キャンパス▽28日=東京工業大学大岡山キャンパス(東京都目黒区)▽7月5日=立命館大学大阪いばらきキャンパス(大阪府茨木市)▽13日=名古屋大学東山キャンパス(名古屋市千種区)▽18日=北海道大学札幌キャンパス(札幌市北区)▽26日=広島大学霞キャンパス(広島市南区)▽28日=筑波大学筑波キャンパス(茨城県つくば市天王台)▽31日=九州大学伊都キャンパス(福岡市西区)。

 Each venue has a capacity of 230 to 610 people, but up to 500 people can participate online.The contents of the briefing session will be the same for all venues, and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology will explain the outline of the nanoterrace, the National Institutes for Quantum and Radiological Science and Technology will explain how to use it for students and researchers, and the Optical Science Innovation Center will explain how to use it for the industrial world.

 Nanoterasu is a facility that visualizes the world in units of 100/1 units with synchrotron radiation generated when the direction of electrons traveling at a speed close to the speed of light is bent by the force of an electromagnet.A 110-meter-long accelerator accelerates electrons, and a 349-meter-long storage ring uses the power of electromagnets to bend the direction of travel.

 Synchrotron light travels through the tube and hits the sample, and the structure of the material can be determined by observing the reaction.It is also possible to observe the state of starch when rice is cooked and ice crystals inside the bodies of frozen fish, and is expected to be used for a variety of purposes.
