The Haber-Bosch (HB) process produces ammonia in the presence of an iron catalyst at high temperatures and pressures, making it energy intensive. Therefore, developing new catalysts that enable the HB process at lower temperatures is…

The Tokyo Tech Academy for Super Smart Society (SSS) hosted a three-day video production workshop from March 9 to 11 on Ookayama Campus. Guiding the 14 Tokyo Tech students, faculty, and staff members who joined the workshop was film and…

Raman imaging offers a greater potential for detecting multiple enzyme activities than fluorescence imaging, demonstrate Tokyo Tech researchers by developing 9CN-rhodol-based activatable Raman probes using a novel mechanism for Raman…

Mechanically responsive molecular crystals are extremely useful in soft robotics, which requires a versatile actuation technology. Crystals driven by the photothermal effect are particularly promising for achieving high-speed actuation.…

Researchers at Tokyo Tech have discovered hidden chemical order of the Mo and Nb atoms in disordered Ba7Nb4MoO20, by combining state-of-the-art techniques, including resonant X-ray diffraction and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance.…

A new barium-containing oxyhydride electride (BaAl2O4-xHy) support material developed by Tokyo Tech researchers boosts the catalytic activity of cobalt catalysts, enabling low-temperature synthesis of ammonia with high efficiency. The…

Tokyo Tech High School of Science and Technology welcomed 201 new students into the community at its 2023 entrance ceremony, held on April 6 on Tamachi Campus. In addition to faculty and staff, joining the celebrations were the students'…

A simple sol—gel method for the synthesis of highly pure bifunctional perovskite-type solid acid—base catalysts has now been developed by Tokyo Tech researchers. Bifunctional acid—base catalysts are important for industrial processes like…

Short-lived intermediate phases in solid-gas reactions can be captured with high-speed time-resolved synchrotron X-ray diffraction technique, demonstrate Tokyo Tech researchers. Their observation of the redox reaction pathway for layered…

On April 12, Brother Bernard S. Oca, President of De La Salle University (DLSU) in the Philippines, and his colleagues visited Tokyo Tech and spent some time with President Kazuya Masu, Provost and Executive Vice President for Institute…
