Achievements
As for the study of the porter, there is the development of the "photoreaction analysis" technique that included information to prove that molecular species of the short life are radical with activity. His study was utilized as a technique to investigate the details of the photochemical reaction in the photosynthesis of the plant later. This was used very much in the research field that used hydrogen in particular as energy, and the porter strongly recommended it, too.
