Shinshi Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab controls the motion of objects with magnetism and ultrasound, and applies the results to medicine and space.
AboutAbout the lab
From basic research on microactuators to artificial hearts and laser processing machines
The Shinshi Lab studies how to control the motion of objects using electromagnetic force and ultrasound.
Technology that supports objects without contact and moves them in various directions using electromagnetic force is applied to artificial hearts, satellites, information devices, and machine tools.
The lab also studies applications to drug delivery systems, in which ultrasound breaks capsules containing a drug so that the drug acts effectively inside the body.
Key terms
- Magnetic bearing
- A component that levitates and supports a rotating shaft using magnetic force. Because it supports the shaft without contact, there is no wear from rubbing
- Microactuator
- A very small drive device that receives energy such as electricity and produces motion
- Drug delivery system
- A mechanism that delivers a drug to the necessary place in the body, at the necessary time, in the necessary amount

ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies technology that controls the motion of objects with electromagnetic force and ultrasound. Development is under way in magnetic and ultrasonic technology for medicine, mechatronics for space, and IoT to support a super smart society.
*Illustrative imagePumps for Artificial Heart-Lung Systems and Ventricular Assist Devices
Building on research into small magnetic bearings and motors, the lab is developing disposable blood pumps for ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) and implantable ventricular assist devices.
*Illustrative imageMedical Micropumps
The lab applies its research on microactuators and micropumps to microchips used in biological research, rapid diagnosis of infectious diseases, and similar purposes.
*Illustrative imageBreaking Drug Capsules with Ultrasound
Drug delivery systems require technology that releases a drug at the site of disease. The lab is developing technology that uses ultrasound to break drug-filled microcapsules efficiently.
*Illustrative imageDevices for Capturing Space Debris
To capture space debris such as old satellites drifting in orbit, the lab is studying capture actuators that are lightweight and can be stored compactly.
