Research Areas
Our mission is to develop novel technologies with a wide range of applications in nano-science and nano-technology. We are also responsible for the operation of the Nano-Science Facility, education of the users and are collaborating with researchers in RIKEN for investigation of fundamental nano-scale phenomena. We have been developing novel technologies related to nano-science and nano-technology so far. Currntly we are developing tchnologies to new field, conbination with nano-scal fabrication and ultra-low temperature.

Research Subject
(1) Fabrication of nano-scale electrode and its applications
(2) Novel application between ultra-low temperature and nano-structure
(3) One dimensional Fermion
