Chemistry across multiple length scales
Dr. Jeremy Dhainaut got a CNRS Chargé de Recherche position at Lille (Unité de Catalyse et Chimie du Solide (UCCS) - UMR 8181) and went back to France in January/2019. Jeremy initiated a new research project of 3D printer and we continue the collaboration on this project. Congratulations, Jeremy!! Mr. Philipp Royla finished his Erasmus+…
Gavin, Alex and Shuhei participated the biggest conference in our field, MOF2018, at Auckland!! It was an amazing conference, where a lot of new researches in the field were showcased and we were able to meet many nice researchers in the field. All of us presented our recent studies of MOP assemblies and got nice…
Most of the Furukawa group members participated "The 3rd Taiwan-Japan Workshop on Nanospace Materials" organized by Prof. Kevin Wu at National Taiwan University in October 27-29, 2018. We enjoyed nice science and discussion with researchers from Taiwan and Japan. And we were so happy to meet our former member, Li-Hao! He was very kind to…
The Furukawa group welcomed five young students in this autumn. Zaoming Wang joined us as a PhD student from Sichuan University, Philipp Royla is visiting us as an Erasmus+ student from Technical University of Dresden. Three very young and enthusiastic Japanese undergraduates, Shizuka Eshiro, Shu Takagi and Shun Tokuda, are working as research assistants. Welcome…
We are happy to announce our new collaboration project with Dr. David Farrusseng (Lyon) and his team plus Dr. FX Coudert (Paris) and his team through the scheme of CNRS-LIA. Our LIA called "Small Molecule Lab (SMOLAB)" will start at the early next year!! This LIA is based on the iCeMS's porous materials (MOFs, porous…
We scientists are currently more expected to engage our researches with public. And like many others the Furukawa group started twitter and instagram to share our fun moments in daily life and at lab. Today we are happy to make a new section in the menu of our website, social media. Not only with…
Ms. Hinano Urabe was back to the group during the summer holiday as a research assistant to get more experience on research! In this summer Hinano spent a month for exploring a self-assembly of porous molecules under the guidance of Assist. Prof. Gavin Craig. Meanwhile, Hinano also spent a time with us for exploring nice…
Mr. Li-Hao Liu, visiting student from Chung Yuan Christian University (CYCU), Taiwan, finished the research at the Furukawa group and went back to CYCU for his PhD dissertation last month. Li-Hao stayed in Kyoto for half a year and did a lot of great works on the project of porous gels. His results will be summarized…
Dr. Gavin Craig, the JSPS postdoctoral fellow, is now promoted to be a Program-Specific Assistant Professor!! Gavin already contributed a lot to our molecular cage chemistry. He is going to explore more this chemistry for a new application. Congratulations, Gavin!!
The paper describing porous gels and colloids made of metal-organic polyhedra is now published in Nature Communications!!! We showed a new fabrication method of porous soft matter by combining the knowledge of coordination chemistry and supramolecular chemistry. This is a true collaboration with Prof. Takashi Hirose from the Matsuda Lab at Grad. School of Engineering,…
