RIKEN’s iTHEMS program ran aftershock sequence models for the Noto peninsula on the Fugaku supercomputer, feeding revised slope-stability maps to Ishikawa prefecture ahead of winter reconstruction.
A RIKEN SPring-8 team published synchrotron maps showing how strain fields shift inside oxide solid-state battery prototypes when cells are fast-charged, giving automakers a benchmark before pilot lines expand.
A balloon-borne instrument team mapped low-energy gamma rays from the galactic center using geometric optics techniques borrowed from visible astronomy.
Niigata University engineers are field-testing soil sensors after September storms saturated slopes across the prefecture’s river valleys.
Niigata University engineers began live tests of a hillside sensor array after September downpours triggered slope failures across the prefecture, aiming to shave minutes off municipal evacuation calls.
University of Tokyo and JAMSTEC researchers narrowed possible Tokai segment slip windows using strain gauges in Boso boreholes off Chiba’s Pacific coast.
