Material/Bio Simulations

All matters around us are composed of invisible atoms including electrons, nuclei, and neutrons. Interestingly, complex interactionsbetween electrons and nuclei and between electrons and electrons determine fundamental properties of matters.Unfortunately,however, there is a limit to understand and predict the fundamental properties of matters with Newtonian mechanics, a physicaltheory describing the motion of objects in the macroscopic world.Therefore, we need a methodology such as Quantummechan…

Simulation Platform Development

Simulation of materials was used as an auxiliary tool to explain observed phenomena, but thanks to the rapid development of software and computers in the last decade or so, it has been using to design or to predict materials and phenomena. However, in order to properly use the computer simulation, years of professional training along with high-performance computers pricing hundreds of thousand dollars or even more, is required. In addition, since each technique requires narrow and deep expertise…

Bigdata/AI Solutions for Materials Development

Recently, as the successful stories for development of novel materials using computer simulations has increased, an interest in computer simulations is also increasing. The material design using computer simulations is a method to predict the physical/chemical properties from material information (composition, structure, etc.). Thus, it can be called a principle-based research method based on “causality” such as quantum/classical/statistical mechanics.Material researchers have accumulated materi…

Autonomous Lab

Discovering new materials is difficult and slow. It takes 10-30 years from discovery to commercialization of a new functional materials.It is now urgent to develop and adopt 'autonomous lab' to optimize the material development process.In the era of the 4th industrial revolution, the appearance of laboratory is already changing rapidly.Graduate students and researchers will no longer spend a huge amount of time on repetitive experiments.Humans will increasingly spend less time in the lab, instea…
