Soft is better than rigid, especially in a rapidly changing world where adaptability is key.

We are exploring and researching the diverse physicochemical phenomena occurring at the interfaces of soft materials.

Our vision

Our vision is to study various phenomena related to soft interfaces and to apply this knowledge to create valuable solutions for numerous next-generation applications.

Materials-embedded Mechanical Computing

Have you ever imagined a mechanical computer that can operate without electrical power?

Metal-Elastomer Nanophases

We can create materials that are as conductive as metal but as flexible and soft as rubber.

Soft Interfacial Engineering for Electronics

Have you ever imagined a smartphone or display as squishy as slime?

Soft Contact Printing

Even with a small piece of rubber given to you, you can experience the world of nanotechnology.
