EXPLORING NEW
MATERIALS FOR
A BETTER WORLD

We engineer new materials from chemical and living
building blocks to overcome frontiers in functionality,
performance, and sustainability.

We transfer our materials to drive sustainable technolo
gies and solve societal and technological challenges in
synergy with academic and industrial partners.

Research Transfer

Research Areas

Bio-intelligent Materials: Circular illustration with a stylized DNA double helix, microorganism, and curved line.

Bio-intelligent
Materials

We design materials that can instruct biological systems and program living organisms to inter face materials and augment their properties.

Logo Electro-integrative Materials: Circular illustration showing a battery, a leaf, rotating arrows, and plus and minus signs, symbolizing sustainable energy storage

Electro-integrative Materials

We develop materials that integrate high-density ion management and stimulus- responsive conductivity.

Logo Opto-interactive Materials: Circular illustration with a wavy line and arrow between diagonal lines and curved arcs, symbolizing the propagation of waves or signals

OPTO-inteRACTIVE Materials

We develop materials that modulate light behavior, or that are modulated upon interaction with light.
