This division is established for the development of the state-of-the-art key technologies which are demanded as fundamentals for the advanced materials research. We are exploiting the cutting-edge technologies commonly necessary for materials innovation, for example, advanced characterization technologies for comprehensive materials analyses, computational simulation techniques for precise prediction and analyses of materials properties, novel design and processing for the fabrication of functional materials from the building elements such as nano-objects, particles, organic molecules, and so on. As for the NIMS 3rd five-year plan projects, our division are responsible for carrying out the following five projects; (1) Advanced Materials Characterization, (2) Materials Design Simulations, (3) Innovative Photonic Materials, (4) Novel Materials through Improved Particle Processing, and (5) Organic Molecular Networks.
