The earthquake in March has apparently done nothing to hinder a couple of impressive engineering feats at RIKEN. First, on June 7 the SACLA laser in Harima successfully produced a burst of intense light at just 1.2 angstroms, helping to open the way to new scientific discoveries by allowing a new look into atomic and molecular structures. And then on June 20, an exciting announcement was made that RIKEN, with help from computing giant Fujitsu, now has the fastest supercomputer on the face of the earth.

“A passion for beautiful science,” a new video introducing RIKEN, has been released to the public on RIKEN’s external website and on RIKEN’s YouTube channel. It's an easy-to-understand and quick way to find out about research being done in areas outside of your own specialty and to get a glimpse of some of RIKEN's major facilities. Both sites also feature past videos produced by RIKEN.

A new portal site, called Tasukeai Japan (tasukeiai means "helping one another" in Japanese), has been set up to provide information on relief activities following the 3/11 disaster. The site also has links to many other sites so it's a good place to start if you're looking for information on how to help out in some way or on the disaster in general.

A group of Iranian people, including a current and a former RIKEN researcher, traveled to the disaster area of the Tohoku Earthquake to help people by providing warm food, water, toys for children and many other daily supplies. It was a courageous act showing that support for the victims goes beyond national borders. Many thanks to Dr. Majid Mahboubi, a researcher of RIKEN BSI and Dr. Esmaeili Naghi, who was a researcher at RIKEN VCAD System until the end of March 2011, for reporting on their activity.

The main RIKEN website is posting testimonials from foreign researchers at RIKEN about their post-earthquake experience of life and work in Japan. Two researchers have so far contributed to this initiative: Dr. Franco Nori, team leader for the Digital Materials Team at the Advanced Science Institute (ASI), and Dr. Piero Carninci, leader of the Functional Genomics Technology Team at the RIKEN Omics Science Center (OSC). We encourage you to read both texts, included below.
