Nano-Device and Characterization Research Group

Harnessing nanocarbons?especially carbon nanotubes (CNTs)?to turn advanced materials into real-world technologies.
With unique structures and properties, nanocarbons hold unmatched potential. Our mission is to unlock that potential through original evaluation techniques and precise property control.
From next-generation devices to innovative materials, we aim to maximize performance and expand these breakthroughs across nanomaterials, driving their implementation in society.

Message from the Group Leader

Fullerenes, CNTs, Graphene?decades of discovery, now shaping real-world innovation.
Join us in driving nanocarbons into the future.
