Outline

Nanoscience Development and Support Team

Our mission is to develop novel technologies with a wide range of applications in nanoscience and nanotechnology. We support nanometer-scale fabrication and the characterization of specimens. We are also responsible for the operation of the facilities in the Nano-Science Laboratory, and the education of the users. We are collaborating with researchers at RIKEN for investigation of fundamental nanoscale phenomena. We have developed novel technologies related to nanoscience and nanotechnology and have been developing the technologies required in the research of nano-science in ultralow temperatures and high magnetic fields.
