The National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science Technology (NIAIST) began operations on April 1, 2001. The NIAIST included the Weights and Measures Training Institute in addition to the 15 other institutions already existing within AIST. The NIAIST is Japan s largest public research organization. 

Earlier PEFC research by the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Sciences Technology in Japan [3] had resulted in the development of a new high-performance catalyst to replace platinnm-ruthenium alloy catalysts. The researchers achieved a world-record for high carbon monoxide contamination resistance by using a low-cost organometallic complex as an auxiliary catalyst to platinum. By eliminating ruthenium and using less platinum it was possible to reduce costs to one-third of their former level. 

Several excellent print collections of spectra are available but are beyond the budgets of most col lege libraries Fortunately vast numbers of NMR IR and mass spectra are freely accessible via the Spectral Data Base System (SDBS) maintained by the Japanese National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology at...

Japan work aimed at fundamental R D for fuel cell development - basic research to achieve drastic upgrades in materials and components - is conducted by national institutes (e.g. the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology). The budget allocations for 2001-2003 total 1.8 billion the 2003 allocation is 726 million.
