By utilizing the vdWH structure of graphene and hBN, we aim to develop ultra-fast, high-performance transistors with an electron mobility approximately 1000 times higher than that of conventional silicon-based FETs.

Fuel cells are positioned as key devices in energy strategies aimed at achieving a decarbonized society. hBN nanosheets, which possess high proton conductivity, gas barrier properties, thermal stability, and chemical stability, are optimal as proton exchange membranes in solid polymer fuel cells, and have the potential to significantly improve fuel cell efficiency

Nanopore sequencing is a molecular biological technique that determines the nucleotide sequence by analyzing the changes in current that occur as DNA or other biomolecules pass through nanopores. This research aims to enable single-molecule sequencing and high-speed real-time data acquisition by creating and applying pores on nanostructured surfaces, bringing a revolution to molecular biology and medicine, including genome research and diagnostic technologies.

Van der Waals heterostructures (vdWH), including graphene, possess excellent electronic and optical properties as well as high sensitivity for molecular detection, making them promising for applications in biosensing devices. Through surface control at the nanoscale, the interaction with biomolecules can be optimized, enabling ultra-high sensitivity detection

Surface modification technologies utilizing van der Waals heterostructures (vdWH) enable the creation of functional surfaces that are flat and precisely controlled at the atomic level.
