Abstract

In solid materials, a vast number of electrons are strongly interacting with each other. While motion of one electron can be precisely described by quantum mechanics, it needs the higher-hierarchy concept and methodology to understand and explore new properties and functions emerging from these correlated electrons. With use of correlated electrons and their forming topology, it becomes capable to control mutually the electricity and magnetism in solids. We dream the emergent electromagnetism in a solid which enables us to transform the energy form with high efficiency and mitigate ultimately the energy cost for information technology.

Upcoming Events

Exploring the Future of Crowdsourced Healthcare (Lecture by Prof. Simo HOSIO)

イベント予定講演会/Lecture

Tuesday, 3 October 2023, 16:30-18:00 JST

Artificial intelligence already has the potential to revolutionize healthcare in the near-future. This talk introduces Prof. Hosio’s work on digital health, highlighting the convergence of different digital technologies, some ongoing case studies on mental health, and crowdsourced, massively scalable online experiments exploring the cross-cultural differences and human factors.

Culture and Democracy in Contemporary Korea (Lecture by Prof. KIM Hang)

講演会/Lecture

Tuesday, 24 October 2023, 10:30-12:00 JST

The so-called 'K' culture originating from South Korea has gained popularity not only in Japan but also globally. This talk will focus on understanding this current situation in the context of political, economic, and societal changes in South Korea since the late 1990s. By doing so, it will provide an opportunity to shed light on the relationship between culture and democracy in contemporary South Korea, and offer some modest insights for contemplating the often turbulent Japan-Korea relations.

World Literature in Translation Book Launch The Bankruptcy

シンポジウム/Symposium

Thursday, 26 October 2023, 19:00-21:00 JST (London: 11:00-13:00; Sao Paulo: 7:00-9:00am; New York: 6:00-8:00am)

The new award-winning translation of The Bankruptcy by Júlia Lopes de Almeida makes this novel available to Anglophone readers for the very first time. To celebrate its publication, this symposium will gather the translators and editor of the novel together with scholars in translation and literary studies to discuss the state of world literature today and the role played by translation in Brazil, Japan and beyond.

Previous Events

Joint Webinar Series by Tokyo College&MbSC2030 Approach for Future Science and Technology “Future Mobility: The Relation Between Humans and Services”

イベント予定講演会/Lecture

Thursday, 21 September 2023, 15:00 - 16:30 JST

Mobility—the ability to move people, goods and information—is fundamental for all of humanity. Woven by Toyota's purpose is to deliver safe, intelligent, human-centered mobility to the world. We will discuss the variety of software-intensive systems that power this mobility, supported by an advanced, state-of-the-art vehicle software-platform.

Energy Transformations for Decarbonization and Sustainability (Lecture by Prof. Yiguang JU)

イベント予定講演会/Lecture

Wednesday, 13 September 2023 15:30-17:00 JST

With the increasing public concerns on climate change and environmental sustainability, in the next decades “fossil fuel energy” will be transformed into “electron energy” with renewable electricity. This lecture will focus on three ways of addressing some of the challenges that arise with renewable energy such as its storage and irregular production. These include non-equilibrium energy and chemical conversion, materials manufacturing, and upcycling. The benefits of these processes will also be discussed relative to decarbonization and sustainability.

Balancing Deterrence and Diplomacy in the Indo-Pacific (Lecture by Bill EMMOTT, Ushioda Fellow)

イベント予定講演会/Lecture

Tuesday, 25 July 2023, 1:00-2:30pm (12:30pm Doors Open)

“Ukraine today could be East Asia tomorrow,” Prime Minister Kishida has warned. But how to prevent this? America’s allies, including Japan and the Philippines, are seeking to build a network of deterrence. How can this be combined with diplomacy? Could deterrence become provocation? This lecture will explain and explore these dilemmas.

Book Launch “Plural Entanglements: Philippine Studies”

イベント予定講演会/Lecture

Thursday, 20 July 2023, 4:00-5:30 pm

In this online launch of “Plural Entanglements: Philippine Studies,” anthropologist Dr. Dada DOCOT discusses the ethic of scholarly generosity, plurality, and diversity that frames this newly edited volume, and Dr. Grace BARRETTO-TESORO introduces their chapter that uses Indigenous perspectives to rebuild a chronology that advances a decolonial approach in the study of Asia.
