Doctored 500 won coins found

The photo shows doctored South Korean 500-won coins police confiscated from a man arrested in Hiroshima on Jan. 27. Lim Seng Chua, who identified himself as Malaysian, was found possessing some 670 such coins. The coins were filed down with drill holes to match the weight of Japanese 500 yen coins. A 500 won coin is the same in size as a 500 yen coin but is less than one-tenth in value of its Japanese counterpart.

Prototype sound-absorbing material mixed with Mitsubishi Chemical's XAI

XAI, the ultra-fine fiber proposed by Mitsubishi Chemical as a sound-absorbing material, is less than one-tenth the fineness of ordinary fibersfor sound-absorbing materials. By mixing 10% of XAI with conventional materials such as felt, it is possible to achieve the same sound absorption performance with about half the weight of conventional materials alone.
