Functional Materials Chemistry Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that creates new classes of materials through precision inorganic synthesis.

AboutAbout the lab
Rethinking the organizing principles of matter through the power of synthetic chemistry
The Kambe Lab, building on inorganic chemistry, is pioneering new methodologies for precision inorganic synthesis.
By highly controlling the arrangement of atoms and the units of structure, the lab aims to create new structures and properties that earlier approaches to materials design could not reach.
New classes of materials have been discovered so far, such as "superatoms," in which multiple atoms are assembled to behave like one large atom, and inorganic liquid crystals with heat-resistant, ordered structures.
At the boundary with nanomaterials science and soft matter physics, the lab conducts research that deepens the foundations of materials science.
