System Nanotechnology

Systems and Nanotechnology Challenging in Unexplored Region

The aim of this project is to construct nanostructures as organic systems for actual application to material nanoarchitectonics. This will enable development of innovative materials and devices which are environmentfriendly and realize low energy consumption, while having high functions that exceed the bounds of conventional thinking, and will be useful in information processing, energy conversion, diagnosis, medicine, environmental purification, food production, and other fields.
