Our goal is to describe atoms that represent element distribution of the Solar system that are continuously evolving from the beginning to the future. To understand the Solar system with spatial scale 1013 m, we analyze planetary materials that are from different origin with different processes, and determine element and isotope compositions with spatial resolution down to 10-9 m.
Planetary materials besides terrestrial ones are the rolling stones that are sampled with locality unknown. To fill the important missing information, we developed a protocol that is to determine multiple-elements, multiple-isotopes, and multiple-phases. We referred the approach to be 'comprehensive' and construct an analytical system that let us do so. The system acts as a gigantic machine with numerous instruments glued by analytical methods and disciplined people. The disciplines and samples would be taken over to the next generation to sustain our science.
We work as a team and prefer arguments scientifically.

A team of scientists undertake a comprehensive analysis of samples returned from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s Hayabusa2 mission and provide invaluable insights into the formation and evolution of our solar system.
日本の小惑星探査機「はやぶさ２」の探査対象であった小惑星リュウグウから回収された 16 粒子を用いて、詳細な地球化学総合解析を行いました。その結果、小惑星物質試料が太陽系形成前から現在に至る複雑な物理化学過程の証拠を保持していることがわかり、生命の起源を含む太陽系物質進化の新しい描像を導くに至りました。
