Dr. SHINOHARA Takenao of the Neutron Science Section and Colleagues Receive the Koshiba Award
A research group of Dr. SHINOHARA Takenao of the J-PARC Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF) and Dr. KATO Satoru of Toyota Central R&D Labs., Inc. has received the FY2025 Koshiba Award.
Using the pulsed neutron imaging instrument BL22 "RADEN" at MLF, the group upgraded the energy selective neutron imaging technique utilizing the pulsed neutron beam in J-PARC and established a method to distinguish and visualize water and ice inside an operating fuel cell of commercial automotive under sub-zero temperature. This achievement is expected to improve performance of fuel cells in cold environments and also contribute to applications in disaster prevention and infrastructure, such as flooding and freezing.
