Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) successfully achieved the world's first solar power sail technology by IKAROS (Interplanetary Kite-craft Accelerated by Radiation Of the Sun) mission in 2010. It demonstrated a photon propulsion and thin film solar power generation during its interplanetary cruise. The sail of 200m^2 was deployed and kept extended by centrifugal force of the spacecraft rotaion. IKAROS also succeeded in accelerating and controlling the orbit by actively exploiting solar radiation pressure, and thus became the world's first actual solar sailer flying an interplanetary voyage. This paper presents the design of IKAROS solar sail system, operation results and introduces a perspective of this new technology to apply to the next generation mission toward Jupiter and Trojan asteroids.

We propose a model experiment and theoretical framework for the spontaneous motion of a droplet coupled with pattern formation through chemical reaction inside it. The nonlinearity of the chemical reaction gives rise to inhomogeneous concentration profile, which leads to interfacial tension gradient at the droplet interface. The interfacial tension gradient induces self-propulsion of the droplet itself through the surrounding flow due to the Marangoni effect. The experiments are made by using a droplet of Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction medium. Numerical calculations for the dynamics on the concentration profiles inside the droplet together with analytical results on the flow fields at low Reynolds number well reproduce the experimental results.

Searches of neutrinoless double beta decay are in progress at many laboratories because it is uniquely related to the absolute scale of the neutrino mass. To deduce the mass from the half-life, one needs the nuclear matrix element, which is available only through theoretical calculations of nuclear structure. This article introduces measurements of charge-exchange reactions to examine the present structure calculations on ^<48>Ca, which is a double-beta-decay nucleus decaying to ^<48>Ti. The distributions of the measured Gamow-Teller transition strengths going to the intermediate nucleus ^<48>Sc are not reproduced by the calculations, suggesting that the description of nuclear matrix elements by these calculations is incomplete.

Boundary condition and topology play a crucial role in determining the properties of quantum system. We report our recent finding that one can change the topology of the ground states of quantum critical systems by applying "sine-square deformation" which introduces a gradual modulation in local energy scale of the system but does not change the topology of the Hamiltonian. Implications of the result to several topics are also discussed.

Uncertainty principle is introduced by Heisenberg in 1927. Heisenberg's original relation is known to be valid only under specific circumstances, and Ozawa has derived an error-disturbance relation by using the theory of general quantum measurements. There, it is suggested that there are cases where the Heisenberg's original relation is not always valid. We tested the relation derived by Ozawa in neutron's spin measurements. The results confirm the validity of the relation by Ozawa.
