We are holding a one-day symposium at Katahira campus on June 19th (sorry for the very short notice). This time our guest speaker is Prof. Prashun Gorai from the US and the front running researchers in Japanese universities and national labs. The topic ranges from the newly emerging ferroelectric materials, inorganic ion conductors, metastable materials (synthesis and mechanisms), and high throughput synthesis of inorganic materials. There is no registration fee for the lectures. Please feel free to stop by any time. We are looking forward to seeing you at the symposium.

■ Date & Time: 10:00 – 17: 10, Jun 19th, 2024
■ Place: Meeting Room, South Multidisciplinary Research Laboratory 2 IMRAM, Katahira campus, Tohoku University
