The lab builds sensors with extreme sensitivity using nano- and micro-scale machines.
AboutAbout the lab
Aiming for extreme sensitivity with tiny machines.
The Ono-Truong Lab develops micro- and nano-scale machines and sensors using nanotechnology and microsystems technology.
MEMS and NEMS are miniature systems that add new value to semiconductor technology, and the lab works on developing new MEMS and NEMS together with the fabrication technologies they require.
The lab develops sensors aiming for extreme sensitivity and is opening up new applications that were previously difficult.
On the lab's website, it is introduced together with the Toda Lab under the name "Ono/Toda Lab."
Key terms
- MEMS and NEMS
- Miniature micro- and nano-scale mechanical systems made with semiconductor technology
- IoT
- A system in which everyday objects connect to the internet and exchange information
- Thermoelectric power generation
- A mechanism that extracts electricity from a temperature difference, converting wasted heat into electricity
ResearchResearch themes
Based on nanotechnology and microsystems technology, the lab develops micromachines and micro/nano systems for IT, medicine, energy, the environment, and nanoscience. It builds sensors aiming for extreme sensitivity and is opening up new applications that were previously difficult.
*Illustrative imageExtreme Sensing and Spintronics
The lab develops sensors aiming for extreme sensitivity, such as magnetic resonance force microscopy, which raises the resolution of magnetic resonance imaging down to the nanometer scale. It also works on probes that measure heat from cells and on magnetic sensors that use magnetostriction.
*Illustrative imageIoT Sensors and Integrated Miniature Systems
The lab uses micromachines to miniaturize a wide range of devices. Examples include vapor cells for chip-scale atomic clocks, low-power gas sensors that detect volatile organic compounds, and miniature infrared spectrometers for environmental monitoring.
*Illustrative imageCompact Energy Systems and Wearables
The lab studies micro thermoelectric power generation, which converts heat emitted by equipment into electricity. It works on a self-powered wireless sensing system, demonstrated by converting waste heat from an electric kettle into electricity, and on wearable thermoelectric conversion devices.
*Illustrative imageHealthcare and Bio Applications
The lab develops compact healthcare devices that analyze chemical components in the body to predict conditions such as lifestyle-related diseases. It is integrating nanomechanical sensors, infrared spectroscopic sensors, and calorimetric sensors into a single system, aiming for demonstration in human measurements and practical use.
