In recent years, the fabrication technology of nanostructures has made remarkable progress, and it is no longer the technology only for limited experts. Also the possibilities of its application in engineering are expanding. Under these circumstances, Nanoscience Center for Photonics, Electronics, and Materials Engineering gathers researchers from physics, chemistry, electronics, and mechanical engineering and aims to create new research fields on nanoscience. At the same time, we will explore the possibilities of engineering application of nanoscience by mutual exchange with researchers of various fields of Institute of Industrial Science. Furthermore, we aim to create new industries by applying nanoscience to engineering.

Target

Focusing on nanometer size structures or individual atoms / molecules, we aim to create new devices by exploring phenomena related to the interaction between matter and light. To this end, Nanoscience Center for Photonics, Electronics, and Materials Engineering creates new research themes and research fields across fields based on manual cooperation of laboratories specializing in various fields such as physics, mechanical engineering, electronics, chemistry, materials. In addition, we apply the results to various fields of engineering.
