TUAT “moonshot” project PI, Dr. T. Suzuki on NHK-TV (Feb.6)“昆虫食”が世界を救う”Insect Food” will save the world.

多様な方法で「貧栄養のエサ」から「良質のたんぱく質を作り出す」昆虫の驚きの能力や、飼育による環境負荷が小さい「地球にやさしい食糧源」としての可能性も見えてきた。various ways, and their potential as an “earth-friendly food source” with a small environmental impact from their farming, have also come to be recognized.

Essay: Interdisciplinary Research for the “Next” Education

Global challenges are always complex, so placing an excessive value on a competition will lead the world in the wrong direction. For the long term good, the winner will be meaningless. Understanding and caring about each other’s history is the key to collaborating with other countries.

学際的なアプローチの重要性(Essay) Pentingnya pendekatan interdisipliner.

Tantangan global itu selalu kompleks, sehingga penempatan nilai yang berlebihan pada suatu persaingan akan membuat dunia ini menuju ke arah yang tidak tepat. Untuk kebaikan jangka panjang, siapa pemenangnya akan menjadi tidak berarti. グローバルな課題は常に複雑であるため、競争に過度の価値を置くと、世界は間違った方向に導かれます。 長期的な利益のための勝者は無意味になります。

Published) Deposition of submicron aerosols by closed-loop flow. 閉鎖循環流システムによるエアロゾル粒子の堆積 (Takahashi Award)

沈着効率が悪い従来法に代わって本手法を気液界面細胞曝露に応用できれば有用である。Our method presented here may potentially be applied for the deposition and analysis of submicron particles on various types of substrate (i.e. air-liquid interface) without the need for vacuum imaging analysis (e.g. electron microscopy).

著書 Nanoparticles Carrying Biological Molecules (Book Chapter)

The conjugation of nanoparticles and biomolecules has found applications in bioimaging, biocatalysis, drug delivery, and biosensors. ナノ粒子と生体分子の「共役」は、バイオイメージング、生体触媒、薬物送達、バイオセンサーなどの分野で応用が見出されている。

マスク装着(エアロゾル学会)Mask-wearing

Point-1.「繊維の隙間より小さい粒子はマスクのフィルターを通過する」は間違い “Particles smaller than the fiber gap pass through the filter of the mask” is not accurate

Point-2. 大事なことはマスクのフィルター性能より,マスクの縁と顔表面との隙間からの漏れ(侵入)を少しでもなくすこと。It is important to eliminate the leakage (intrusion) from the gap between the mask edge and the face surface, rather than the filter performance of the mask.

開発の事例:微粒子の合成と構造化 Example of Technology: Synthesis & Structuring of Particles (2018-2019)

浮遊する微粒子の構造化と集積化について、従来まで考証されていなかった物質の輸送に対する「駆動力のバランス」の視点からの技術手法を開発した。We have developed methods for synthesis & structuring suspended particles from the viewpoint of “balance of the driving force on the transport of matter”, which has not been considered before.
