Our Research
Our research focuses on the physical properties, functions, and energy applications of nanoscale/quantum materials that exhibit significant quantum mechanical effects, such as carbon nanotubes (CNT). The aim is to create new technologies for highly efficient use of solar light/thermal energy that will contribute to the realization of a sustainable energy society. To understand the unique physical properties of these materials from the fundamental principles and extract superior functions that exceed the limits of conventional materials, we are promoting interdisciplinary research that covers basic sciences, including condensed matter physics and materials synthesis, as well as thermal, mechanical, electronic, and optical engineering along with the fabrication of integrated nanomaterials.
