World's Largest Neutrino Observatory - China

An aerial drone photo shows ground facilities of the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) in Jiangmen, south China's Guangdong Province, Oct. 10, 2024. China has constructed the world's largest transparent spherical detector 700 meters underground to capture elusive neutrinos, often dubbed "ghost particles," to unravel the secrets of the infinitesimally small and the infinitely vast in the universe. The 12-story-tall acrylic sphere with a diameter of 35.4 meters, buried deep in a granite layer of a hill in Kaiping, Jiangmen City in south China's Guangdong Province, is the core part of JUNO, a gigantic and complex scientific facility. The construction of the challenging project, launched by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the Guangdong government in 2015, has entered the final stage.

IH heating and evaporation equipment of the Fukuoka Industry, Science and Technology Promotion Foundation

The Practical Application Development Center for Organic Photonics and Electronics (Nishi-ku, Fukuoka City) of the Fukuoka Industry, Science and Technology Foundation (Fukuoka IST, Hayara-ku, Fukuoka City) has developed a heating method for vapor deposition using induction heating (IH) as the heat source. In the future, the center aims to commercialize this method in cooperation with equipment manufacturers. The new method was developed for vapor deposition in the production of organic thin films, for which the center has abundant production know-how (photo). The characteristics and functions of the device have been confirmed by producing organic EL elements. The development is part of an effort subsidized by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's "Regional Industry-Academia-Government Collaboration Science and Technology Promotion Project Subsidy (Regional Innovation Ecosystem Formation Program).
