Mission, Research Targets
Four missions to be achieved as WPI's goal
MANA has set four missions to be achieved as WPI's goal, conducting as the basic research center for nanoscience/nanotechnology for the next generation and attempting to develop innovative materials using nanotechnology.
Mission
We have set four missions as follows to be achieved as WPI's goal.
- To promote interdisciplinary research by Materials Nanoarchitectonics
- To serve as a "Melting Pot", where top-level researchers gather from around the world
- To secure and cultivate outstanding, innovative young scientists
- To construct a network of nanotechnology centers throughout the world
Materials nanoarchitectonics
Materials nanoarchitectonics is a new research paradigm of materials development which attempts to extract and use the ultimate functions of materials based on a profound understanding of the mutual interaction between individual nanostructures and arbitrary arrangement of those nanostructures.
Research Targets
By converging the five key technologies of Materials Nano-architectonics, the center focuses on the four research fields, Nano-materials, Nano-system, Nano-green and Nano-bio, to develop novel materials and systems at the nanometer scale and create epoch-making innovations in materials science and technology and contributes to the development of various new technologies necessary for the realization of sustainable society.
