SCRIT electrode contributed to research on “observation of the internal structure of unstable atomic nuclei”.

In 2023, a research group led by RIKEN proved the world's first direct observation of the internal structure of every nucleus with high accuracy. In this revolutionary research, SCRIT Electrodes produced by MTC played a key role. This contributed significantly to the research.
SCRIT is built into the vacuum-vessel of SCRIT unit and consists of several thin wires arranged like a bird cage. This electrode serves to retain the ions of unstable nuclei inside.
