担当者：近松彰 Akira CHIKAMATSU
所属：理学部化学科 Chemistry, Science
テーマ topic ：Crystal structure in solids
内容 abstract ：In solids, the arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules forms a crystal structure. This refers to the ordered and repeating pattern in which these particles are arranged in a solid. The structure is defined by the unit cell, which is the smallest repeating unit that retains the symmetry and properties of the entire crystal. Solids exhibit a variety of properties depending on the combination of elements and differences in crystal structure. In this lecture, we will learn about various crystal structures in solids while assembling crystal structure models.

担当者：宮﨑充彦 Mitsuhiko MIYAZAKI
所属：理学部化学科 Chemistry, Science
テーマ topic ：Molecules, light, and colors. The quantum chemical foundations
内容 abstract ：The appearance of a substance that we see originates from interaction between light and molecules composing the substance, and is finally recognized by our brain through neural action. To understand this phenomenon, it is required to know both molecules and light based on quantum chemistry. In this lecture, I would like to explain fundamentals of what is the color of matter and what happens to the energy of light, based on quantum chemistry of molecules and light.

テーマ topic ：How to make your brain smarter & Ecosystem Services and Nature Positive – How Biodiversity Supports Our Sustainable Life
内容 abstract ：Astrocytes are a kind of brain cell. We thought they were supporting cells for neurons for a long time, such as maintenance of the extracellular environment and energy supply to neurons. But now we know they are doing more than that. Our lab has developed a system to observe neuronal and astrocytic activities using calcium fluorescence imaging in living mice. When we electrically stimulate the brain with a weak direct current, calcium levels in astrocytes go up, making the transmission between neurons more efficient and enhancing the mice's sensory functions. But detectable neuronal activities didn't show any apparent changes during stimulations. Also, animals with more developed intelligence and cognitive functions, like cats or humans, have more astrocytes per neuron. That is why we think astrocytes are essential for brain functions.

Recent computer graphics techniques archived realistic and fine representations. It has the power to convert data into visual messages. The former part of this class introduces fundamental computer graphics techniques that are used in various industries including engineering design and entertainment. The latter part introduces information visualization techniques that make visual representations of daily information.

31 July, 9:30-12:40 (計2コマ）
担当者：藤田智弘 Tomohiro FUJITA
所属：理学部物理科 Physics, Science
テーマ topic ：Cosmology: Its History and Cutting-Edge Research
内容 abstract ：Astronomy is one of the oldest fields of science. Originally developed for astrology and navigation, it has evolved alongside modern science, greatly enhancing our understanding of the universe that we live in. Today, cosmology presents astonishing insights into the origins of the universe and its fundamental components. In the first part of this lecture, I will provide an introductory review of the history of astronomy and key discoveries in modern cosmology. The second half will focus on recent research exploring the possibility that the universe may have a preferred handedness, suggesting a violation of left-right symmetry (parity symmetry).

1 August, 9:30-12:40（計2コマ）
担当者：Sin Yi TSANG
所属：理学部数学科 Mathematics, Science
テーマ topic ：Mathematics and magic tricks
In this lecture, we will introduce some magic tricks that are based on mathematical concepts, such as representation of numbers, modular arithmetics, and symmetries. We will explain the ideas behind the magic tricks and discuss some important applications of the mathematical concepts that are involved, such as in cryptography and check digit algorithm.
