It is known that there is a complete paralellism between black hole physics and thermodynamics. We present a simple proof of the generalized second law, I.e. the sum of the intrinsic black hole entropy and ordinary thermodynamical entropy always increases. We also show that the increase of the total entropy exceeds the amount of knowledge obtained by quantum operations outside the black hole.

We review what we have learned from the first three years of RHIC, the world highest energy nucleus-nucleus collider. The main goal of RHIC is to create a new state of matter made of deconfined quarks and gluons, the quark gluon plasma (QGP), by colliding heavy nuclei at extremely high energy. The suppression of high p
T particles and away-side jets in central Au+Au collisions and the absence of such suppression effects in d+Au collisions have established that a very dense matter is formed in collisions of heavy nuclei at RHIC. The strong elliptic flow observed in non-central Au+Au collision is a strong evidence for a rapid thermalization of the matter. The hadron yield ratios and the p
T distributions of hadrons are consistent with the models that the system is in local thermal equilibrium at the end of reaction. The measurement of open charm production and J/Ψ particle has started. They are important probes to further investigate the nature of the dense matter formed at RHIC.

A neutron wave is confined in a material bottle at very low energy, although the size of the neutron is very small compared with the interatomic distance in the material. The nuclear force becomes repulsive for long wave neutrons as a result of a quantum effect on the surface of the nucleus. Because of this effect, neutrons with energies below critical energy, which are defined as ultracold neutrons (UCN), are completely reflected upon collision with a material surface and then confined in a material bottle. Confined neutrons can be used for precision experiments on the space and time reversal, neutron lifetime, n-nbar oscillation and gravity. High UCN density is highly desirable for development of these experiments. A new generation UCN source was established for innovation in UCN density. The UCN production and physics of UCN are discussed.

Supernova remnants are believed to be major sites of acceleration of Galactic cosmic rays. In particular, it has been a big issue whether supernova remnants are sites of proton acceleration or not. We carried out extensive CO observations covering the whole southern Galactic plane and discovered molecular clouds at a distance of 1 kpc interacting with the TeV gamma-ray SNR G347.3-0.5. A good spatial coincidence between these molecular gas and nonthermal X-ray or TeV-gamma ray distributions indicates a possibility that the interaction of the supernova remnant with the molecular gas is the origin of cosmicray proton acceleration.

A spinel compound CuIr
2S
4 shows a metal-insulator transition accompanied by a structural transition at 230K and becomes an insulator with a triclinic structure below the transition temperature. This is due to a simultaneous charge ordering of Ir
3+ and Ir
4+ and spin-dimerization of Ir
4+. We found that X-ray irradiation induces a structural change from triclinic to tetragonal below ∼50K and reduces the electrical resistivity by at least three orders magnitude.
