Dr. SANO Asami Receives the Nishida Prize for Promotion of Geo- and Planetary Science
Dr. SANO Asami of the Neutron Science Section received the Nishida Prize for Promotion of Geo- and Planetary Science from the Japan Geoscience Union for research on hydrogen in the Earth's materials at high pressure and temperature based on synchrotron X-ray and neutron beams. She has contributed unique research on elucidating the stability of hydrous minerals and the behavior of hydrogen in the crystal structure at high pressures using X-ray and neutron diffraction techniques. She has also been involved in developing the large-volume multi-anvil press at the high-pressure neutron diffractometer PLANET in MLF to realize neutron scattering experiments under high-pressures and high-temperatures.
