Takahashi-Li-Teshima Lab (Thermal Engineering and Applied Physics)
Machine-translated · View original
The lab experimentally explores heat and energy in nanomaterials and at phase interfaces.
AboutAbout the lab
Uncovering nanoscale heat and interfaces through experiments.
The Takahashi-Li-Teshima Lab aims for a new world that skillfully harnesses heat and energy, and conducts research under the keywords "nanomaterials," "phase interfaces," and "MEMS technology."
Heat and energy technologies have long been important in aerospace vehicles, with many applications such as thermal management of hydrogen-powered and electric aircraft and energy self-sufficiency in space.
The nanoscale world holds much unknown science that existing theory cannot explain. The lab uses advanced experimental equipment, microscopes, and analysis techniques to uncover such unexplained phenomena experimentally.
Its goal is to create a technological foundation that could transform the macroscopic world significantly.
Key terms
- Two-dimensional materials
- Ultrathin films only a few atoms thick. They show unusual properties not seen in three-dimensional materials.
- Phase interface
- The interface where one material meets another. Much about heat transfer and phase change there is still unexplained.
- Atomic force microscope
- A microscope also abbreviated as AFM. This lab uses it to observe bubbles and droplets at the nanoscale.

The lab aims for a new world that skillfully harnesses heat and energy, and conducts research under the keywords "nanomaterials," "phase interfaces," and "MEMS technology." Using advanced experimental equipment, microscopes, and analysis techniques, it seeks to uncover experimentally the unexplained phenomena occurring at the nanoscale.
*Illustrative imageMeasuring thermal properties of two-dimensional materials
The lab studies how heat is conducted in two-dimensional materials, ultrathin films only a few atoms thick. It combines Raman spectroscopy and scanning thermal microscopy with MEMS-based nano thermal sensors to clarify the mechanism of heat conduction.
*Illustrative imageNanoscale observation of phase interfaces
The lab investigates what is still unknown, such as how heat is transferred at interfaces between materials and what factors govern phase change. It observes bubbles and droplets at the nanoscale with atomic force microscopes and electron microscopes to clarify the physical phenomena at phase interfaces.
