Machine-translated · View original
A lab that designs and assembles inorganic materials containing nanoscale pores.

AboutAbout the lab
Putting nanoscale space to work in materials
The Yamauchi-Asakura Lab studies new inorganic solid materials that contain uniform nanoscale spaces (pores).
It covers a wide range of porous inorganic materials with many voids, including metals, carbon, sulfides, phosphides, and transition metal oxides.
By combining the behavior of molecules, light, and magnetism within narrow nanospaces, the lab aims to create new functions.
The lab is also pursuing research that combines machine learning and inorganic synthesis to efficiently search for synthesis conditions and material combinations.
Key terms
- Porosity
- Having many small voids (pores) inside a material. The voids can take in molecules and perform other functions
- Self-assembly
- The process by which molecules or particles gather on their own, without being assembled one by one from outside, to form a defined structure
- Machine learning
- A technology in which a computer learns rules from large amounts of data and uses them to make predictions or decisions

The lab aims to create new inorganic solid materials with highly controlled nanospaces and to establish methods for combining them. It works on creating new functions that arise when the behavior of molecules, light, and magnetism overlaps within nanospaces.
