Research purpose

Superconductivity research, which began in 1911, has now spanned more than 110 years. A look back at its history reveals that the field can be categorized into three areas:

① Development of new superconductors

② Elucidation of superconductivity mechanisms

③ Industrial applications of superconductivity

It remains one of the most attractive research topics today, particularly within the field of solid-state physics.

Our laboratory conducts research in materials science, with the development of new superconductors as its primary focus. Materials science is a broad field encompassing the study of crystal structures, physical properties, material synthesis via various reactions, and the fundamental principles governing matter; our work specifically targets superconducting materials.

Our specific research objective is to discover new superconducting materials that exhibit superconductivity at possible high temperatures—ideally, at room temperature.
