Molecular Assembly Nanomaterials Lab

AboutAbout the lab

Controlling how molecules assemble to explore optical and electronic functions

The Molecular Assembly Nanomaterials Lab creates supramolecular nanostructures from π-conjugated molecules (small organic molecules and polymers) and biomolecules, and studies their optical and electronic functions and energy conversion.
In particular, the lab focuses on how functions emerge when the assembled structure, arrangement, and orientation of molecules are controlled.
The lab also works on fabricating nanodevices using the molecular assemblies it creates.
On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Yamamoto-Kushida Lab."

ResearchResearch themes

The lab's research begins with creating supramolecular nanostructures from π-conjugated molecules (small organic molecules and polymers) and biomolecules. It builds nanodevices from the molecular assemblies it creates and investigates their optoelectronic functions and energy conversion.
