Outline of Reserch Institute

Mission & Objectives

1.Development of Multi-Material technologies
 We are developing new multi-material technologies by utilizing DX technologies such as Materials Informatics (MI)/Process Informatics (PI) and automated experiments, and we are aiming to create next-generation frontier materials, and new joining technologies for dissimilar materials.

2. Contribution to a competitive circular economy society
 For realization of a circular economy society, we are developing technologies contributing to Long-life and reliability, Re-use, Upgrade-recycling, Environmental benign for materials.

3. Contribution to resilient supply-chain
 We are developing materials contributing to a resilient supply-chain, which can adjust to changes in environmental and social circumstances.

Key challenges of research institute

Ceramics, powder, composite materials and joining technologies
 We develop functional materials, structural ceramic materials, and joining & process technologies, contributing to the realization of decarbonized society, circular economy, and Society 5.0, utilizing Material DX methodologies.

Light metals and environmentally benign materials
 We will develop cutting-edge multi-material technologies—utilizing Material DX methodologies—to create materials contributing to reduced environmental impact throughout the lifecycle, as well as materials designed to improve productivity and quality of life.

Magnetic and energy-related materials
 We use Material DX methodologies to develop next-generation batteries and high-efficiency motors—which are essential for renewable energy transition and electrification—as well as magnetic refrigeration technologies, a high-efficiency cooling method attracting significant attention.
