Materials Biomimetics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that builds devices and sensors that mimic the functions of living organisms.
AboutAbout the lab
Learning from living organisms to build ultra-low-power devices.
The Materials Biomimetics Lab combines biomimetics, which imitates the functions of living organisms, with electronic materials to study new nanofunctional materials and devices.
In living organisms, distinct functions such as sensing, information processing, and action are connected and operate on ultra-low power consumption.
The lab focuses on this mechanism.
It is developing synaptic transistors that mimic the brain, wearable sensors with good biocompatibility, and vital-sign measurement systems.
On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Associate Professor Kanki's Office."
Key terms
- Biomimetics
- Research that imitates the functions of living organisms and applies them to the development of materials and devices.
- Synaptic transistor
- A transistor that behaves like the synaptic plasticity (memory) of neurons.
- Vanadium dioxide
- An oxide of vanadium known for its electrical resistance changing by about three orders of magnitude near room temperature.
