The University of Tokyo's Trans-scale Quantum Science Institiute and Graduate School of Science, in cooperation with NHK Enterprises, Inc. and JSR Corporation, have launched the "Heartwarming Physics Keyword Dictionary" video on The University of Tokyo's Graduate School of Science Youtube The University of Tokyo has started to distribute the "Heartwarming Physics Keyword Dictionary" on its Youtube channel as part of its public outreach activities targeting mainly junior high and high school students.

The "Heartwarming Physics Keyword Dictionary" is based on the concept of "healing" x "ultra-sophisticated physics" and aims to familiarize the general public, especially junior high and high school students, with physics by having a popular voice actress become a healing underwater creature and explaining difficult physics terms in an easy-to-understand way. The aim is to familiarize the general public, especially junior high and high school students, with physics by explaining difficult physics terms in an easy-to-understand manner.

This time, popular voice actor Yuki Kaji, playing 13 different characters, will deliver 4 videos (4/18, 5/16, 6/20, 7/19) on 13 cutting-edge physics topics, including "string theory" and "spintronics.

Please enjoy the latest topics in physics and also enjoy the voice colors of the 13 characters by Mr. Kaji.
