Magnetic control

Research 01

We employ magnetic nanomaterials with tunable chemistry to develop magnetically controllable nanomaterials through dynamic application of external magnetic field.

Photonic control

Research 02

We harness photonic nanomaterials to develop light-responsive dynamic systems, enabling biomedical applications, such as remotely controlled cell modulation and molecule delivery.

Self-assembly control

Research 03

We exploit various self-assemblies induced by various stimuli and demonstrate self-assembly capable of dynamically changing their morphology via magnetic field and light.

Ultrasonic control

Research 04

We exploit ultrasound as a stimulus to control dynamic processes in nanostructured materials involving chemical, mechanical, magnetic, photonic, electrical, and thermal energy transformations.
