Physical Chemistry
Overview
Physical Chemistry is a field that explores the fundamental principles of chemical phenomena. Using techniques developed in physical chemistry, we propose and create new functional materials on a nanometer scale that were unimaginable in the 20th century. These nanometer-sized materials are an important field of recent chemical research, and various studies are being attempted using these materials to make energy-using materials or explore life phenomena.
