It was the first part of the series “Nano Revolution” about the latest research results of nanotechnology.

The program started with details about Prof. Gimzewski’s history and research. He talked about the development of new functional materials by nanotechnology and their future applications. Then Dr. Aono’s work, the development of an atomic switch, was highlighted as key research to realize a novel brain-type device. The later part of the program featured the development of a highly sensitive sensor by Dr. Yoshikawa with future applications in monitoring and security fields.
