Abstract: An object of the present technology is to provide a technology that enables control of an odor. The present technology provides an odor presentation module including a first opening that first airflow containing an odor exits, and a second opening that second airflow exits, in which the first opening and the second opening are provided so that movement of the first airflow exiting the first opening is able to be controlled by the second airflow. The present technology also provides an odor presentation device and an odor presentation system including the odor presentation module. Further, the present technology provides an odor presentation method including a first airflow generation step of emitting first airflow containing an odor from a first opening, and a second airflow generation step of generating second airflow exiting a second opening or second airflow entering the second opening, in which movement of the first airflow exiting the first opening is controlled by the second airflow.

Abstract: [Object] To provide a transducer capable of providing a high degree of freedom in deformation and suppressing a risk of breakage and a method of producing the transducer. [Solving Means] In order to achieve the above-described object, a transducer according to an embodiment of the present technology includes an elastomer. The elastomer extends along a predetermined axis direction, and has both end portions in which at least two electrodes having followability are disposed on both sides around a predetermined axis in the predetermined axis direction, the both end portions being elongated to be folded in a direction perpendicular to the predetermined axis. This makes it possible to provide a high degree of freedom in deformation and to suppress a risk of breakage.

Abstract: To provide a particle labeling reagent having low luminescent characteristics and improved water solubility.
Provided is a particle labeling reagent containing a compound represented by the following general formula (I-1) or (I-2). (In the above general formula (I-1), p represents an integer of 1 to 3. In the above general formula (I-1), M represents a hydrogen atom or a mono- to tri-valent metal atom. In the above general formula (I-1), L1 represents a single bond or a (p+1)-valent group. In the above general formulas (I-1) and (I-2), L2 and L3 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a photodegradable protecting group, and L2 and L3 may be the same or different. Provided that at least one of L2 and L3 represents a photodegradable protecting group. In the above general formula (I-2), L4 represents a monovalent group.)
