| YEAR | HISTORICAL BACKGROUND | INVENTION |
|---|---|---|
| 1907 | Tohoku Imperial University founded. | |
| 1911 | College of Science established. | |
| 1916 | The Institute was initiated in Tohoku Univ. as the 2nd Division of "the Provisional Institute of Physical and Chemical Research". | Prof. Kotaro Honda invented K.S. steel. |
| 1919 | Iron and Steel Research Institute established. | |
| 1921 | The main building of Iron and Steel Research Institute was constructed.（SUMITOMO's donations） | |
| 1922 | Iron and Steel Research Institute closed and Research Institute for Iron, Steel and other Materials established in its stead. | |
| 1930 | Low Temperature Laboratory was constructed. （SAITO HOUON-KAI's donations） | |
| 1941 | Honda memorial hall was constructed. （Honda Anniversary Committee's subsidies.） | |
| 1952 | The first helium liquefier in Japan was installed. | |
| 1969 | Irradiation Experimental Facility was established as a branch of RIISOM at Oarai, Ibaraki Prefecture. | |
| 1981 | High Field Laboratory for Superconducting Materials was established for promoting basic research for the development of high-critical field superconductors. | |
| 1987 | RIISOM was reorganized as a countrywide collaborative research institute to meet the current rapid progress in materials science and renamed lnstitute for Materials Research (lMR). Laboratory for Developmenetal Research of Advanced Materials was established. （Laboratory for Advanced Materials was renamed as Advanced Research Center of Metallic Glasses in 2005.） | |
| 1994 | Supercomputing system was introduced. | |
| 2002 | International Frontier Center for Advanced Materials was established. | |
| 2004 | Following a national reform of the university system, the IMR was integrated as unit of Tohoku University. | |
| 2006 | Osaka Center for Industrial Materials Research was established. (～2011） | |
| 2008 | International Collaboration Center was established. | |
| 2010 | Integrated Materials Research Center for a Low-Carbon Society was established. Cetnter for Neutron Science for Advanced Materials was established. | |
| 2016 | Institute for Materials Research 100th Anniversary (May 21). |
