Aim and scope:

Program at a glance

NIMS Conference 2015 focuses on the “advancedcharacterization technologies” contributing to innovations in novel
and high-performance materials. Novel functional materials forenergy, environment, IT, life science, and other fields are in highdemand to realize a sustainable society. It is the materials
characteristics (structures, compositions, states, etc.) that generate
the useful functionalities of "advanced materials" in response tosocial needs. In this regard, various demands are assigned toadvanced characterization: firstly, the further pursuit of highresolution and high sensitivity, and secondly, the development ofoperando characterization connected with applications owing to its
possibility of accelerating materials innovation.
To clarify the fundamental mechanisms of materials
functionalities, elucidation based on characterization, theory, andcomputational science is demanded. In particular, because of therapid increase in the amount of data and information, the newconcept of “materials informatics” has become indispensable.
Advanced characterization technologies have attracted worldwide
attention as being critical to innovation, and global research projects
are underway. Since characterization instrumentation andmethodologies are connected with global industrial applications,international standardization is also needed. Therefore, collaborationof academia and industry beyond geographical borders is essential
for projects from basic sciences to industrial applications.
Recognizing the importance of advanced characterization to drivematerials innovation in the 21st century, NIMS has pursued research
projects in the field of advanced characterization and taken the leadin international standardization efforts in cooperation withresearchers from different fields.
In order to discuss these key issues, NIMS will organize the“NIMS Conference 2015” entitled “Materials Innovation Driven by
Advanced Characterizations” from July 14th to 16th, 2015, inTsukuba.
Thisconference
coversthestate-of-the-art
characterization techniques for advanced materials research, suchas high-resolution electron microscopy, 3D/in situ electron
microscopy, advanced probe microscopy, microscopic imaging ofspin and magnetism, advanced synchrotron beam analysis,
advanced neutron beam analysis, advanced solid-state NMR,
materials informatics by advanced characterization, and operando
characterization for green innovation.
We hope this conference will provide new insights and ideas ininnovative materials research based on advanced characterization
and analysis technologies.
