October 17 and 18, 2020, \u201cInter-University Research Institute Corporation (I-URIC) Symposium 2020\u201d was held online due to the COVID-19. This symposium has been held annually since 2010 as an opportunity for the public to learn about academic research conducted by I-URIC.
On October 17, each organization\u2019s activities and research topics were presented.
Masahiko Hiraki, head of the Mechanical Engineering Center (MEC) of Applied Research Laboratory (ARL), gave a talk titled \u201cAccelerator experiments with corona era using robots.\u201d
At the Photon Factory in KEK, materials structures are analyzed using synchrotron radiation and the samples must be set up at the beamline for the experiments. However, due to the COVID-19, it is difficult for researchers to carry out their experiments directly on site. MEC and Structural Biology Research Center of Institute of Materials Structure Science has developed a sample exchange system and created environment for remote experiments. They are continuing R&D for the corona era, such as high-speed sample exchange for efficient experiments and identification of large number of samples using RFID tags.<\/p>\n\n\n
