World-changing materials researchAll things necessary to our lives—

such as lighting, roads, bridges, buildings, vehicles and airplanes—

are made of “materials.”

Research on materials has contributed

to the prosperity of humankind in many ways.

NIMS is Japan’s sole public research institute

specialized in materials science.

We have created a number of materials

that made a global impact.

Our mission is

to pave the way for a better future for humankind

by solving issues in environment, energy,

medicine, and infrastructure,

focusing on advanced research

and development of innovative materials

including metals, ceramics, polymers and optical materials.

LEDs are a vital energy-saving tech-nology. The earlier white LED bulbs consisted of a blue LED chip and yellow phosphor that coated the chip. The white light generated by these bulbs, however, had a bluish tinge, making their use as interior lighting undesirable. To create more natural white light, the addition of a red light component was necessary. NIMS successfully developed “Sialon phosphors” capable of emitting red light. Subsequently, this technolo-gy contributed to the development of natural white LEDs and their worldwide use as indoor lighting. Sialon phosphors invented by NIMS have become the global standard today.

There is an urgent need for Japan to deal with its aging social infrastructure such as roads and buildings. NIMS’ approach to this challenge is to develop: reinforced concrete that resists corro-sion for 100 years, ultra-steel which is far stronger than conventional steel, and a vibration damper with the world’s highest fatigue durability, capable of safeguarding tall buildings from massive earthquakes which may occur from time to time. NIMS contributes to realizing a safe society through tireless efforts in infrastructure materials research.

Energy-Saving Jet Engines

Revolutionizing Energy Transmission

World’s most heat-resistant super-alloy used in the Boeing 787– High combustion temperatures reduce fuel consumption

Superconductive materials for loss-less electrical transmission cables– Reduced energy consumption for a sustainable society

Airplanes are a common means of in-ternational travel. To improve their fuel efficiency, higher fuel combustion tem-perature is required. However, problems with heat resistance in engine materials made this difficult. Consequently, NIMS developed a superalloy which broke the world record for heat resistance. The new material has been integrated into the latest Boeing model, the 787 Dream-liner, saving annual fuel cost by 1 million dollars per plane and contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions. NIMS is continuously producing environmentally friendly materials.

Superconducting materials are most well known for their application in maglev trains. However, they are also playing a vital role in the development of highly efficient power lines capable of carrying electricity from power plants to very distant places without losing any energy. These power lines have already been in practical trials. The most promising ma-terials for practical use—bismuth-based superconducting materials—were dis-covered by NIMS researchers. Using a superconducting wire material, NIMS has also developed an NMR system ca-pable of generating the world’s strongest magnet field of 1,020 MHz.

Changing the Future of Medical Care

Permanent Magnets for Electric VehiclesThe world’s strongest neodymiumhigh-temperature magnet without dysprosium– A crucial component of electric vehicles

Smart Polymers to save lives and cure physical problems– Realizing a system where all people can receive appropriate medical treatment easily

Neodymium (ND) magnets - the world’s strongest magnets - are indispensable components of hybrid vehicle motors. However, ND magnets have a drawback in that they lose magnetic force when motor temperature rises while driving. This problem can be solved by using another element, dysprosium (Dy). However, Dy is a rare element and dif-ficult to acquire. Taking account of this situation, NIMS successfully increased the heat resistance capability of motor magnets without using Dy. NIMS rein-forces Japan’s next-generation vehicle technology.

Medical treatments are becoming more sophisticated and expensive. As a result, only a handful of patients can receive treatments using high-priced devices. NIMS has developed highly functional “smart polymers,” made of inexpensive plastics, which enable cancer treatments and artificial dialysis without depending on conventional infrastructure. This tech-nology is expected to play a vital role in saving lives in developing countries as well as disaster-affected areas in devel-oped nations. Furthermore, NIMS has delivered innovative medical materials to the world such as fish-derived, high-per-formance surgical adhesives and com-pact breath sensors enabling instant, easy health checks.
