Research Results

 
Development of Performance Testing Methods for Large Power Conditioner Systems
As part of the Project to Develop Global Certification Infrastructure, AIST completed the Smart System Research Facility at its Fukushima Renewable Energy Institute (FREA) and began performance testing of large power conditioner systems (PCSs).
Energy and Environment
 
Chicken Breeding by Genome Editing
To produce eggs that does not contain a major egg white allergen, gene mutated chickens were generated by genome editing.
Life Science and Biotechnology
 
Security Proof of Biometric Digital Signatures (Fuzzy Signatures)
Hitachi, Ltd. proposed the concept of Public Biometrics Infrastructure (PBI). PBI is an infrastructure for enabling biometric information, which is important personal data, to be used in various services and applications while ensuring its security. Based on the concept of PBI, Hitachi, Ltd. also proposed new biometric authentication systems and a foundational theory for these. AIST succeeded in providing rigorous cryptographic proofs of security for their biometric authentication systems. These results led to the first commercialization of related products.
Information Technology and Human Factors
 
Development of Highly Heat-resistant and High-strength Composite of CNT and PEEK Engineering Plastic
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a high-performance plastic that serves as an alternative to aluminum and other materials in wide-ranging areas such as the automotive and aerospace industries. By adding single-wall carbon nanotubes synthesized by SG method (SGCNTs) to PEEK, a “PEEK/ SGCNT composite material” was developed. The composite material exhibits enhanced heat resistance, tensile strength, and bending strength beyond those of PEEK alone. This composite material is injection moldable.
Materials and Chemistry
 
Development of a Large, High-performance Carbon Membrane Module for Hydrogen Separation
AIST has developed a high-performance carbon membrane to separate and purify ultra-high purity hydrogen for fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) from organic hydrides. NOK CORPORATION has developed large modules while maintaining separation performance of the carbon membrane.
Materials and Chemistry
 
Silicon Photonics Supporting Next-Generation High-Capacity Communication Networks
The researchers have developed a communication network system utilizing optical switches. The system realizes ultra-high capacity, ultra-low power consumption, and ultra-low latency by exchanging optical signals without conversion to electrical signals.
Electronics and Manufacturing
 
Development of High- Brightness, Long-lasting Phosphorescent Material Suitable for LED Lighting
A phosphorescent material was developed with around three-times the afterglow luminance and twice the emission time of conventional materials, even when used with LED lighting (460nm). A flexible phosphorescent film was produced using the Photo MOD (metal organic decomposition) method.
Electronics and Manufacturing
 
Urgent Field Survey of the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquakes
An urgent investigation related to the April 2016 Kumamoto earthquakes was conducted in order to record surface ruptures and to clarify site amplification characteristics severely damaged town of Mashiki.
Geological Survey of Japan
 
Discovery of Methanogens That Convert Coal to Natural Gas
The researchers discovered that methanogens living in deep subsurface environments produce methane directly from coal through a previously unknown metabolic pathway.
