Advanced Electronics Lab

AboutAbout the lab

Aiming for new materials and devices through atomic-level observation.

The Advanced Electronics Lab studies fields that merge electronics and science, such as atomic and molecular electronics and bioelectronics.
By creating and measuring extreme environments, the lab aims to deepen materials science and to create new materials, devices, and systems.
Its research themes include observing atoms and molecules on solid surfaces, visualizing drug reactions in living organisms, and research approaching the essence of electromagnetic noise.
On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name “Abe Lab” as a research division of the affiliated Center for Extreme Science.

ResearchResearch themes

The lab aims to deepen materials science through the creation and measurement of extreme environments, and to create new materials and new devices and systems based on it. It pursues atomic and molecular electronics and bioelectronics, and clarifies phenomena occurring at surfaces and interfaces at the level of the nanoscale down to atoms and molecules.

Microscopy techniques for observing and manipulating atoms↗

The lab has developed techniques that use scanning probe microscopes to observe and process functional materials, electronic materials, and biomaterials from the nanometer scale down to the atomic level. It has also succeeded in identifying individual atoms on a sample surface and in atomic manipulation.

Ratings and reviews reflect the experiences of individual current or former students, not the lab's official views. Whether a lab has reviews, or how many, says nothing about the lab itself.

Students who take part in an interview may receive a thank-you gift worth ¥1,000, regardless of what they say.
