The newly established RIGAKU/JEOL-iCeMS Innovation Core is a joint research facility founded within the Analysis Center of the Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (Kyoto University iCeMS). RigakuRIGAKU/JEOL-iCeMS Innovation Core will apply innovative methods of molecular-structure analysis, centering on electron-beam diffraction of nanocrystals. In this way RIGAKU/JEOL-iCeMS Innovation Core aims to advance basic research, return research results to society and cultivate skilled personnel, thereby contributing to innovation through academic-industrial partnership. RIGAKU/JEOL-iCeMS Innovation Core is an R&D facility dedicated to the advancement of material science through open innovation. Kyoto University will expend every effort to ensure the success of RIGAKU/JEOL-iCeMS Innovation Core.
