    Keeping Time with Atoms on the Move
    Optical lattice clocks use the natural rhythm of ultracold atoms as an extraordinarily precise tick. Most current designs operate in repeating cycles: the atoms are prepared, probed with the clock laser, and read out. Only the probing step compares the atoms with the laser, so the laser is not monitored during atom preparation and readout. …

    Beyond threat lies the reward
    When an animal encounters a potential threat in its environment, it must focus completely on the danger in order to protect itself. But with repeated exposure, the threat becomes familiar and less important. The animal learns to adapt and shift its focus toward opportunities in its environment, such as food. …

    Successive Height Preintegration for a Height-Interdependent Path Formulation of Multiple Bounces in Smith Microfacet BRDFs
    Smith microfacet models are widely used to describe the interaction of light with surfaces. However, conventional microfacet models account for only a single bounce on microsurfaces, which leads to energy loss. …

Overseas Branch Offices

The JST overseas offices are strategically located to capture the latest science and technology trends in their respective regions, actively promote the global activities of JST-funded Japanese researchers and leverage global networks to enhance and internationalize Japan's S&T.

  • Paris Office

    We are JST's first-established overseas office, responsible for a wide range of countries within Europe and Africa. We negotiate and coordinate with relevant organizations and support the growth of JST's European operations, where science cooperation is often multi-layered and complex. We also play a vital role in transmitting local information back to JST headquarters, and are actively expanding our network of related organizations in order to improve Japan's S&T presence in Europe.
