Scope:
Many kinds of bio-related devices have been developed for the purpose of realizing sustainable human society. Then, interdisciplinary studies on nanotechnology, biotechnologies, chemistry on interfaces utilizing bio-molecules having unique and significant functions have been bringing us much important and interesting results with creating noble fields in science and technologies. We have been recognizing that there are strong requirement for an improvement of traditional technologies and tools. For example, a novel method for a localized and time-resolved observation system of interfacial phenomena in molecular level has been required. It seems that the bioactivity and nanostructure are closely relating each other in such the systems. We believe “functionality, structure, and interface” are the key words. In this session, we propose an occasion to discuss with the recent trends and results through some quite different fields with a worldwide vision.
