Professor Michihiro Furusaka Talk in University Tenaga Nasional

Yesterday Professor Michihiro Furusaka [pic] from Hokkaido University, Japan came to University Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN) here in Bangi, Malaysia with a collaboration from Malaysia Nuclear Agency to give a talk on Nuclear Technology and Small–Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS). His talk were held at UNITEN College of Engineering and a very large audience turnout to hear his talk and among the VIP present was Dean of College of Engineering Professor Dr. Mohd Zamri, Nuclear Techonology Course Co-ordinator Dr Nor Azlan Mostafa, Senior Lecturer from Mechanical Engineering Department Assoc Prof Dr Mujibur Rahman, Mr. Syukri Yahya and other department senior lecturers.

As for an introduction, he did explain to us what is the connection or relationship between the Quantom Physics and Nuclear Techonolgy in detail. He gave us a very simple example of Quantom Beam such as Light (Laser), X-Ray, Gamma Ray and etc. and he relates those quantom beams with Neutrons.

He did ask some basic chemistry question, "do you know how small the size to produce or make 1nm of steel atom neutrons that we can called it an 1nm atom?" Then he explained it in detail through his fancy, interactive and attractive slideshow. He also ask the audience about how thin of the small angle of radian for the Small–Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) and later he gave an example with the two table in front of him in the classroom with an inclined position side by side with only slight angle and say "like this much, but you can't see it!" followed by the big laughters from the audience. 

He also did show us his small prototype that he manage to build in order to reduce the size of the Small–Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) system design as he said Japenese people loves "tiny" things. Then he also explain to us about what this Small–Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) system can contribute in Medicine field as it can be used to detect Parkinson and Cancer disease at early stage.

He gives his talk in a very spontaneous, fun, humurous yet gives us a good sharing of his great knowledge in Small–Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) Technology he mastered in. As the time doesn't permit him to finish his talk to show us the entire slideshows util the end. He manage to conclude his talk by explaining to us the worldwide Small–Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) Laboratory around the world in a glance including Malaysia.

We personally feel very grateful to have a chance to meet and hear his great experience and knowledge about the Small–Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) from him. *"Arigatō" Professor Michihiro Furusaka! :)


*"Arigatō" means Thank You in Japanese.
