Scientific Innovation Center (S.I.Center) is inaugurated in IMSS on 1st April, 2023, in addition to two research centers, CIQuS (Center for Integrative Quantum Beam Science) and SBRC (Structural Biology Research Center).
IMSS is taking care of academic users of our 4+α quantum beam facilities, that is, four large-scale quantum beam facilities such as synchrotron radiation, neutron, muon, and slow positron, and also recently-installed four cryo electron microscopes. Our ministry is stimulating networking and integration beyond individual universities for use of advanced research infrastructures to lead new scientific fields.
According to this direction, S.I.Center leads new scientific fields by cultivating new human resources and technologies not only for our advanced research infrastructures but also for similar quantum beam facilities in universities. On the other hand, CIQuS and SBRC are stimulating university people to do simultaneous use of different probes in our 4+α quantum beam facilities. Combination of S.I.Center with CIQuS and SBRC is essential to establish "integrated quantum beam science".
