Does a High-Impact Journal Guarantee a High-Impact Paper? Our Data Says No. 高IFジャーナルを目指すべきか?
The scatter plot illustrates that higher journal impact factors do not necessarily correspond to higher citation counts for individual papers, highlighting the variability in how papers perform of the journal’s overall prestige.散布図は、ジャーナルのインパクトファクターが高いことが必ずしも個々の論文の引用数の増加に繋がるわけではないことを示しており、論文のパフォーマンスがジャーナル全体の権威に及ぼす影響にはばらつきがあることを強調しています。

Nature-Inspired Technology: From Leaf Surfaces to Smart Materials 自然の設計図で創る材料科学:電界・エアロゾル・微細構造
自然と工学の交差点から生まれた3つの革新技術―ESPI、SERS AeroMapper、PhytoSurface μSelect™―を紹介。植物の葉に学んだ粒子のふるまいを応用し、微細孔への浸透、空中ナノセンシング、マイクロパターニングなど、エネルギー・医療・環境分野に新たな可能性を拓きます。At the intersection of nature and engineering, this blog introduces three breakthrough technologies—ESPI, SERS AeroMapper, and PhytoSurface μSelect™—each inspired by how particles interact with plant surfaces. From deep pore infiltration to airborne nanosensing and micron-scale patterning, these innovations offer new solutions for energy, medicine, and environmental science.

Promoting Sustainable Agriculture: TUAT and JA Shimane Partnership
Our research group played a key behind-the-scenes role by linking Mr. Masuda to TUAT researchers. We first met Mr. Masuda through a CEO introduced to us at a conference, and subsequently facilitated the connection that integrated his technology into TUAT’s work. This crucial link helped build the collaboration that supports sustainable regional agriculture.
