Research and development of superconducting systems for nuclear fusion

Visiting Professor Toshiyuki Mito

 In order to achieve the ultimate decarbonization to prevent global warming, the realization of a fusion reactor is desired as soon as possible. Here, we introduce the current status of research and development of superconducting systems, which are indispensable for the realization of fusion reactors.

Professor Martin Frith

Inferring how genetic sequences have evolved, probably

Professor Martin Frith

All living things have genetic sequences, which have gradually changed over 4 billion years, and hold the information for the functioning of each organism. We have recently entered a scientific golden age where we can obtain these sequences and study them, but our understanding of them is still very limited. The most productive analysis method has been to detect sequences that are related by common ancestry (e.g. between distantly-related organisms), and trace how they have changed (e.g. between healthy and diseased human cells). The most powerful and elegant way to do this is based on probability calculations.

New Developments in Environmental Restoration in Large Urban Inland Bays

Professor Jun Sasaki

 The history, current status and issues related to the management of inner bays in Tokyo Bay will be discussed, and efforts toward environmental restoration of inner bays through public-private partnerships will be discussed.
