  • Dominant non-local superconducting proximity effect due to electron-electron interaction in a ballistic double nanowire

    Dominant non-local superconducting proximity effect due to electron-electron interaction in a ballistic double nanowire
    Cooper pair splitting (CPS) can induce nonlocal correlation between two normal conductors that are coupled to a superconductor. CPS in a double one-dimensional electron gas is an appropriate platform for extracting a large number of entangled electron pairs and is one of the key ingredients for engineering Majorana fermions with no magnetic field. In this study, we investigated CPS by using a Josephson junction of a gate-tunable ballistic InAs double nanowire. …

    Realization of new IBSA method for 3D structural analysis of biology
    Japanese researchers developed the Image Based Structure Analysis (IBSA) method that is an improved method of single particle analysis and enables structural analysis in lipid membrane. This development has made it possible to analyze the structures of membrane proteins in a real environment of them. …

    Nanocatalyst makes heavy work of formic acid
    Hydrogen occurs in nature as H2 molecules; however when deuterium isotopes—so called “heavy hydrogen”—are introduced, the result can be deuterium hydride (HD) or deuterium gas (D2). …

    Creating a Sustainable Society through Multiple Generations and Diverse Individuals: Passing on our Nature, Culture and Wishes to Future Generations
    SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) set by the United Nations in 2015 are goals that both developed and developing countries will strive to achieve. With an aging population and low birth rate, Japan faces many issues such as fiscal deficit, environmental issues, depopulation in rural areas and increased risks of natural disasters, some of which have to be tackled ahead of other countries.

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. Office established 1984.
