In this project, practicality of ocean current power generation will be tested. It could be utilized as a distributed power source for solitary islands, e. g., in the Kuroshio Sea area, and 18 prefectures are involved in the program. Power generation capacity, equipment durability and economy of the system will be scrutinized. Industrial contractor is […]
Yasutero URANO and colleagues have synthesized a group of dyes exhibiting a short absorption wavelength of about 80 nm while maintaining fluorescence by becoming acidic. The dyes exhibited high stability on light irradiation. Furthermore, by changing the chemical structure, the fluorescence color could be changed from deep red to near infrared light in response to […]
