Muranaka Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A superconducting materials science lab that aims to develop new superconductors.
AboutAbout the lab
Aiming for high-temperature superconductivity.
The Muranaka Lab (Superconducting Materials Science Lab) conducts research with the goal of developing new superconductors.
It approaches the development of new materials through a cycle of materials design, materials synthesis, and property evaluation, in which the evaluation results are fed back into design and synthesis.
Its specific goal is to discover new superconducting materials whose superconducting transition temperature is as high as possible, up to room temperature.
The lab wants everyone to see themselves as a researcher from the moment they become involved in research, and to learn and experience the joy of research and experiments.
Key terms
- Superconductivity
- A phenomenon in which a material's electrical resistance drops to zero below a certain temperature.
- Superconducting transition temperature
- The temperature at which a material becomes superconducting. It is written as Tc.
- Materials science
- A general term for the field that studies the crystal structures, physical properties, and synthesis of materials.
