A team led by a researcher at Research Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (MANA) delved into the interplay of plasma oscillations and electrons in cuprate superconductors, shedding light on the emergence of plasmarons–distinct quasiparticles driven by charge fluctuations within the system. Image: https://cdn.kyodonewsprwire.jp/prwfile/release/M105739/202308288564/_prw_PI1fl_p9M5a59h.jpg Metallic systems exhibit plasmons–quanta of collective electron oscillation–as elementary charge excitations. Recently, this … Continued

Scientists at the Research Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (MANA) have developed micrometer-sized "liquid marbles" that can encapsulate single to several living cells, thereby aiding single-cell studies. To analyze individual cells, the desired number of cells must be isolated spatially. This often requires extensive training and use of expensive laboratory equipment. MANA scientists have recently overcome … Continued

This distinguished accolade will be presented to Professor Zhao on August 15th during the 17th … Continued

A research team at the International Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (WPI-MANA) has shed light on how electrical conduction in oxide nanosheets can be markedly affected by small changes in their atomic arrangement. (Image: https://kyodonewsprwire.jp/prwfile/release/M105739/202302032657/_prw_PI1fl_8t5iT34J.jpg) The physical properties of a material are dictated by the arrangement of its atoms. This holds true not only for classical … Continued

An international research team at the International Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (WPI-MANA) has worked to improve the ionic conductivity of anion-exchange membranes (AEMs) made from layered double hydroxides (LDHs), laying the foundation for their use in many electrochemical applications. (Image: https://kyodonewsprwire.jp/prwfile/release/M105739/202302032656/_prw_PI1fl_5tT8FF5G.jpg) LDHs are inorganic compounds that can be made into extremely thin “nanosheets.” These flexible … Continued
