From ‘Ultimate Material Synthesis’ to
‘Future Device Development’
Various small devices with different functions are now overflowing in our daily lives, but ten years ago, they were unimaginable. Surely, in another ten years, devices with astonishing features that are unimaginable today will be commonly used.
We are conducting comprehensive research on innovative future devices with new functions that will play a role in such a future, from material synthesis development to device design, fabrication, and functional evaluation. One key focus for realizing future devices is “nano-materials,” which are extremely small materials on the order of one billionth of a meter.
Nano-materials exhibit significant changes in functionality due to structural differences at the atomic level. Therefore, achieving future devices requires the essential technology of precisely controlling the structure of nano-materials at the atomic level during synthesis.
