Toward the realization of next-generation flexible optoelectronic devices
24-Sep-2019
In Japan Science and Technology Agency's Strategic Basic Research Programs, Associate Professor Toshiaki Kato and Professor Toshiro Kaneko of the Department of Electronic Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering, Tohoku University succeeded in clarifying a new synthesis mechanism regarding ...
Best performance of organic material for lithium battery anode using materials informatics
Combining empirical knowledge and machine learning with a small experimental dataset
24-Sep-2019
At JST Strategic Basic Research Programs, the research group led by associate professor Yuya Oaki and graduate student (at the time) Hiromichi Numazawa of Faculty of Science and Technology, Keio University established a new design policy for organic materials for the anode of lithium-ion ...
Let there be light: Synthesizing organic compounds
23-Sep-2019
Every biological reaction is a chemical reaction. The exchange of carbon dioxide for oxygen in our lungs and blood cells, for example, is caused by molecules releasing chemicals and reforming with new ones. The uncontrolled replication of cancerous cells is the result of broken chemical compounds ...
Researchers develop chemical reaction method for more efficient drug production
17-Sep-2019
Researchers at Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (TUAT) in Japan and Mount Allison University in Canada have developed a more efficient method to produce the building blocks needed for antibiotics and cancer treatment drugs. The building blocks the researchers set out to better ...
Discovery of periodic tables for molecules
10-Sep-2019
Scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) develop tables similar to the periodic table of elements but for molecules. Their approach could be used for predicting novel stable substances and creating useful materials. The periodic table of elements was proposed in 1869, and ...
Better chemistry through tiny antennae
02-Sep-2019
A research team at The University of Tokyo has introduced a powerful method for actively breaking chemical bonds using excitations in tiny antennae created by infrared lasers. This process may have applications throughout chemistry as a way to direct chemical reactions in desired directions. In ...
