Nanotechnology Research – Laboratories

The Nanoarchitectonics Research Center, in close collaboration with the Graduate School of Frontier Sciences, the University of Tokyo, aims to establish 'bottom-up' nanoscale technologies based on molecular self-assembly, hierarchical atomic nanostructure construction and atomic level measurement techniques.

Utilizing the AIST NanoProcessing Facility and the AIST Technical Service Center, the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) conducts the NanoProcessing Partnership Platform as a part of Nanotechnology Network Japan of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT).

The Nano-Carbon Materials team at the Center develops original synthetic approaches to fabricate rational nanoscale materials as basic building blocks and the hierarchical assembly of these nanomaterials to fundamental elements for nanodevices that would serve as functional components for applications in nanotechnology.

XNRI is focused on developing unique technologies that have been enabled by the fusion of a diverse range of disciplines centering around nanotechnology, technologies that will allow them to direct their efforts into research areas related to the environment, energy and medicine.

A laboratory supported by Kyoto University. The core focus is environmental remediation technologies with nanomaterials.

Pursues nanotechnology rseearch such as carbon nanotube interconnects and high-speed nanoscale devices.

The IMS, part of the National Institute of Natural Sciences, investigates fundamental properties of molecules and molecular assemblies through both experimental and theoretical methods.

Research into nanophotonics.

The lab offers quick and comprehensive solutions matching the needs of clients applying achievements in technology in the areas of nanotechnology, biotechnology, energy-, and environment-related technologies.

The lab's advanced technologies of material structure control and processing, which are taken full advantage of from the nanometer level all the way to the macro level, enable the development of microscopic devices and is used to evaluate and analyze material and device properties, and to provide comprehensive research results for the development of materials, components and devices.
