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.

Terrestrial planets in our solar system formed in the protoplanetary disk about 4.6 billion years ago. As the disk cooled, planetesimals and planetary embryos formed, and they repeatedly collided and grew, eventually forming terrestrial planets. Since primitive meteorites contain primitive dust and fragments of planetesimals, analysis of these materials can provide direct information on the formation process of terrestrial planets..
太陽系の惑星は約46億年前,ガスと塵からなる原始太陽系円盤から形成されました.原始太陽系円盤が冷却するに従い,微惑星が形成され,これらが衝突や成長を繰り返し,やがて地球を含む惑星が形成されました.始原的隕石には,このような初期太陽系で形成された塵や微惑星のかけらが含まれていることから,これらを分析することにより,惑星の形成過程や,惑星を構成する物質の化学組成を実証的に知ることができます...
