Professor Hirotaka Sugawara announces his new unit, which will find ways to apply particle and nuclear physics technology to medical research.

C. M. Chandrashekar and Thomas Busch simulate the motion of a particle that can be in two or more places at once.

Transporting a nanoparticle all the way across the OIST campus from where it is synthesized to the electron microscope where it can be analyzed is tricky.

OIST scientists have developed a new, simple and quick way to make any number microlasers on a single structure.

In a space draped with yellow curtains, a researcher dressed all in white, with only his eyes showing, is staring at a small plate, the size of a person’s fingernail. The location is a cleanroom in OIST’s Laboratory 2.

A group of researchers from the OIST Nanoparticles by Design Unit can now make custom-designed multicomponent nanoparticles with controlled shape and structure.

Two recent events at the University underlined OIST’s ambition to spread scientific ideas and concepts to the population of Okinawa and all staff at the University.

An international collaborative proposal by OIST researcher Mahesh Bandi has won him and his colleagues a Young Investigators Grant from The Human Frontiers Science Program (HFSP).

“Quantum theory aims to explain phenomena that occur at temperatures and on scales that humans are too big and too hot to experience," says Professor Thomas Busch, head of the new Quantum Systems Unit at OIST.

The Collective Interactions unit makes the details behind many theories more palpable by studying phenomena that can be seen with the naked eye.

Professor Síle Nic Chormaic and her band of sixteen researchers study the interactions of two foundational components of our world -- light and matter.

Have you ever wondered if our universe is just a tiny speck in a much larger cosmos? The Theory of Quantum Matter Unit here at OIST examines this idea on a much smaller scale.
