Sekino Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A materials lab that designs the structures of ceramics and metals from the nano to the macro scale.
AboutAbout the lab
Designing material structures to create next-generation foundational materials.
The Sekino Lab (Advanced Hard Materials Research Group) studies the structural design and control, from the nano to the macro scale, of materials centered on ceramics and metals.
The lab creates bulk materials and nanomaterials that combine diverse functions, investigates their structures and fundamental physical properties and characteristics, and clarifies the mechanisms by which those properties arise.
Through this research, the lab aims to create next-generation foundational materials that help solve important challenges facing society, and to put them to use.
Key terms
- Ceramics
- Inorganic, non-metallic materials in the same family as pottery and glass. Many are hard and resistant to heat
- Bulk materials
- Ordinary-sized solid materials, as opposed to nanomaterials
- Nanomaterials
- Materials with structures on the order of one billionth of a meter (a nanometer) in size
