Researchers at #UTokyo_IIS use computer simulations of glass-forming particles to discover a new type of exotic ordering impacting the fate of the material.

Researchers from #UTokyo_IIS provide physical insights into ion hydration in water-based solutions, which will aid electrolyte design for energy storage technologies.

Project Researcher Naoto Takayama, Yu Uchikura, and Professor Miles Pennington of DLX Design Lab at #UTokyo_IIS (hereinafter DLX Design Lab ), in collaboration with Professor Tetsu Tatsuma, Assistant Professor Takuya Ishida and Project Research Associate Seung Hyuk Lee of Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo (hereinafter IIS), have produced a five-minute video summarising the technology for creating nanoparticles using an innovative approach with light and the future possibilities it offers. The video introduces in an easy-to-understand manner how these tiny particles may in the future lead to new materials called 'metamaterials' that can freely manipulate light and perform unique properties, such as making materials appear transparent. The video was produced as part of DLX Design Lab Treasure Hunting Project, which aims to communicate the value and future potential of scientific research to the general public.
