As global energy and environment problems draw increasing attention, Japan has set a target of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. It has become even more important to promote the development of technology for fully utilizing hydrogen in the future, and also to explore fundamental science.However, since the foundational science related to hydrogen (hereinafter, hydrogen science) spans an extremely wide range of academic fields including engineering, chemistry, physics, and biology, sufficient opportunities have not been established for sharing cutting-edge trends and promoting joint research.
Against this kind of background, the “Hydrogenomics: Creation of Innovative Materials, Devices, and Reaction Processes Using Higher-Order Hydrogen Functions” project was established under a Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Innovative Areas from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (FY2018 to FY2022). Through this framework, research has been promoted with the aim of creating the science for mastering the advanced use of hydrogen. We call this research area “hydrogenomics” (hydrogen + omics [system of learning]), and strive to promote joint research related to the diverse physical properties and functions of flexibly and continuously transformable hydrogen through cooperation between researchers in a wide range of academic fields including engineering, chemistry, physics, and biology. Practical, systematic joint research into hydrogen science that spans such as wide range of academic fields is unprecedented worldwide and this is the first such attempt.
This book summarizes the following to provide a practical guide for obtaining new directions and widely sharing the state of activities in this new academic field, hydrogenomics.
Chapter 1 “Diverse properties of hydrogen in materials” gives an overview of the “high densification ability of hydrogen”, which is related to many of energy functions; the “interfacial localizability of hydrogen”, which is important for enhancing electronic functions and mechanical properties; the “fast migration ability of hydrogen”, which includes short- and long-range migration phenomena and coupling with electrons related to new conceptual devices: and “high activation ability of hydrogen”, which is related to new material conversion processes.
In order to fully utilize hydrogen based on these properties, it is essential to also perform research into analyzing and predicting hydrogen, which is difficult to detect in materials, with higher accuracy than ever before. Chapter 2 “Advanced measurements and calculations for hydrogen in materials” introduces cutting-edge hydrogen measurements driven by new methods, and the latest hydrogen calculations for “seeing” invisible hydrogen.
Chapters 3 to 5 introduce some results related to fully utilizing hydrogen to explain the state of activities in “hydrogenomics”. Chapter 3 “Synthesizing new materials” explains the latest in high-pressure synthesis and thin-film synthesis technology, and then introduces hydride-ion conductors, hydrogen boride sheets, and other materials. Chapter 4 “Designing new devices” introduces new concepts for devices related to hydrogen and hydrides, such as hydride-based all-solid-state batteries, hydrogen-doped solar cells, rechargeable fuel cells, and proton-coupled electron transfer thermochemical cells. Furthermore, Chapter 5 “Providing new reaction processes and visualization technology” introduces new synthesis techniques for amino acids and ammonia, and new hydrogen visualization technologies using metal complexes.

-読心術(マインド・リーディング)×心理学×マーケティング 人間は操り人形だ。ひとりひとりにたくさんの糸がついていて、ある方向に引っ張られると、糸に導かれて気づかないうちに行動がそちらへ向かう。つまり、糸を操る方法がわかれば、相手の行動をコントロールすることもできる。 本書では、どうやって糸を操ればいいのかを解説する。具体的には、相手の思考に影響を与え、こちらの意図する考えを刷り込んでおくことだ。それをあとから指摘することで、相手の「心を読んで」いたということになる。 操り人形師になる方法を伝授しよう。説得術を7段階からなる時系列のプロセスにまとめた。だれかを説得して何かをしてもらおうと思ったら、本書で示す段階をそのとおりに踏んでいけば目的を達成することができる。本書のなかから好きな戦術を選び、それだけを使って説得を試みてもらうこともできなくはないが、このステップ・バイ・ステップの手引きに従っていれば、間違いなく正しい方向へと導かれていく。 このステップ・バイ・ステップの説得術は、各ステップの頭文字をつなげるとMETHODS（方法）となるようにできている。METHODSはこんな構成である。 【ステップ1】認識を形づくる（Mold Their Perception） 【ステップ2】行動と一致した態度を引き出す（Elicit Congruent Attitudes） 【ステップ3】社会的プレッシャーを与える（Trigger Social Pressure） 【ステップ4】メッセージを定着させる（Habituate Your Message） 【ステップ5】メッセージをもっとも効果的に提示する（Optimize Your Message） 【ステップ6】モチベーションをさらに高める（Drive Their Momentum） 【ステップ7】影響を持続させる（Sustain Their Compliance） 読心術の第一人者であり心理学研究者でもあり、マーケティングを学んだ経験もある著者は、膨大な数の学術文献を参照し、さまざまな実験によって証明された原理を用いて、自らのメソッドを構築した。つまり、これらの戦術には学術的な裏付けがある。 本書で紹介する戦術を有効に活用すれば、思考だけでなく、感情も、そして行動も、思いのままにコントロールできる。ただし、これらの戦術は非常に強力なため、けっして悪用しないこと。
