Space Astronaut Mamoru Mohri Visits NanoTerasu

On November 29, 2024, astronaut Mamoru Mohri was invited to NanoTerasu for an interactive event themed around “Dreams and the Future of Science and Technology.” Participants included four first-year students from Sendai Daiichi High School and five second-year students from Sendai Daisan High School, both designated as Super Science High (SSH) schools in Sendai City, as well as three third-year undergraduate students and two second-year master’s students from Tohoku University.

The event featured Mr. Mohri himself as the facilitator, engaging in lively discussions with the students and participants. Prior to the event, Dr. Takahashi, Director of the QST NanoTerasu Center, guided Dr. Mohri through the experimental hall. During the tour, representatives of the three public beamlines provided explanations and exchanged ideas with Dr. Mohri.
