By fusing spintronics and nanomachining technique, we establish a new system of technology realizing quantum-mechanical conversion in between electricity, heat and motion. It has been made clear that in nanoscale various interactions between electron and nuclear exist via "spin current", flow of rotation of electron. By fusing these interactions in nanoscale, electric generation, driving of motion and heat energy conversion based on the principle of quantum mechanics is realized.

This project aims to develop novel microsystems for counting biomolecules and virus at single-molecule or single-particle level, based on our original techniques; femtoliter chamber array systems and ultra high-speed imaging of Brownian particles. The microsystems are directly coupled with CMOS imaging sensor chips to develop portable and cheap clinical assay systems. It would allow us, for example, the detection of disease marker molecule in very early stage and the prevention of pandemic virus.

To achieve the next generation display that contributes to energy conservation and the saving resource, we create reformative, electrochromic materials in which RGB and colorlessness are expressible and develop color electronic paper with them. We also reveal electronic and optical properties of organic-metallic hybrid polymers, a new series of electrochromic materials. Our research continuously proceeds from studies on the untrodden science area to the device fabrication based on "process integration".

Our project aims at the development of metallo-processes for novel nano-metals that the number and the composition of metal atoms freely and precisely were controlled, by using our original method of the finely controlled metal-assembly.
