The lab builds metal oxide nanowires atom by atom to explore new functions.
AboutAbout the lab
Ultimate manufacturing, built up from atoms and molecules
The Yanagida Lab creates nanoscale structures from atoms and molecules and studies the new properties that emerge in them.
Using "self-assembly," the mechanism by which atoms and molecules spontaneously organize themselves, the lab arranges atoms at targeted positions.
The lab focuses in particular on nanowires: thin, wire-shaped crystals made of metal oxides.
The lab pursues both the establishment of fundamental principles of nanomaterials chemistry and the development of new devices, driving science and applications together.
Key terms
- Nanowire
- A thin, wire-shaped crystal with a diameter on the order of nanometers
- Self-assembly
- A mechanism by which atoms and molecules naturally gather and spontaneously organize into an ordered structure
- Heterostructure
- A structure made by joining different types of materials together at their interface, with atomic-level bonding at the boundary

ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to skillfully control the mechanisms by which atoms and molecules spontaneously assemble, and to create nanostructures with new functions based on inorganic materials science. Focusing on metal oxide nanowires, which are chemically stable and exhibit diverse properties, the lab works on demonstrating properties unique to nanostructures and on proposing and demonstrating new devices.
*Illustrative imageNanowires joining different oxides
This research creates nanowires with "heterostructures," in which different types of oxides are joined together with atomic-level control, and gives them new functions.
*Illustrative imageAnalyzing biomolecules with nanowires
The lab develops devices that rapidly analyze biomolecules using three-dimensional structures made of nanowires.
