Date: Friday, June 19, 2026, 13:30–16:30. Fee: 44,000 JPY (tax incl.) ※ Materials included. ＊ Newsletter subscribers: 39,600 JPY (tax incl.). ＊ Academic price: 26,400 JPY (tax incl.). Lecturer: Dr. Takashi Goto, Associate Professor, Kagoshima University. Recently, fine bubbles, which are microscopic bubbles smaller than 100μm, have been attracting attention for R&D and industrial use in various fields such as environment, agriculture, food, fisheries, and medicine, due to their ability to impart various functions to liquids. Fine bubbles are classified into two types based on size: micro-sized microbubbles and nano-sized ultra-fine bubbles. While there is high interest in ultra-fine bubbles, which can last for weeks to months, feedback from researchers and users includes skeptical opinions like "I bought a generator, but it has no effect," "I can't ensure data reproducibility," and "Do ultra-fine bubbles really exist in the liquid?" This has become one of the hurdles for the widespread adoption of fine bubble technology. On the other hand, by using our proprietary ultra-fine bubble generation technology, we have enabled control of number densities exceeding 100 billion particles/mL without pressurization or concentration, allowing us to challenge the elucidation of the stabilization mechanism of ultra-fine bubbles from a new perspective. In this seminar, to promote research and use of fine bubbles with a correct understanding, we will provide a fundamental explanation of the entire field of fine bubble technology, including basic physical properties, characteristics, functions, device technology, measurement and evaluation methods, and application examples. ※This seminar will be a live-streamed event using the video conferencing tool "Zoom."
