Scope of Symposium

The main theme of the symposium of Joint Research Network on Advanced Material and Devices is symbolized by a single “Kanji” (Chinese Character) “彫 (cho)”. In Japanese, the character “彫” means “carving”, the art of making object by cutting away materials from wood or stone. We choose this character “彫” to express our thought of science as an art of finding hidden mechanisms or rules in nature and shedding light on them. The theme of the symposium on Joint Research Network for Advanced Material and Devices is based on this character, and aims to share ideas for developing the ways to visualize and analyze systems from molecules, nano-structures to life. With this keyword in mind, we would like to implement interdisciplinary discussions under the unified theme during this Symposium.
