Research Areas

This center has been established to be the core for Asian Research Network (ARN) for fusion research fields. This center aims to be the hub for extending research network over whole Asia to promote fusion of various research fields, through the core Japan-Korea cooperation based on the close collaboration between RIKEN and Hanyang University (HYU). As the first step, we have started collaborative research with HYU and other Asian collaborators in the field of fusion-nano, in which nanoscience and nanotechnology are combined with bioengineering, information technology, and various research fields. We are also extending our research to establish a novel and unconventional information processing scheme in the post-nano era.

Research Subject

  1. Creation of biocomputer using slime mold (amoeba) with external feedback
  2. Creation of materials with self-organized pattern-rhythm formation from fluctuation
  3. Novel bio-dynamics system based on bio-sensor and external feedback
  4. Development of two-dimensional protein arrays and application to random number generation
  5. Development of single-molecule multi-property simultaneous characterization system
