Our group members participated in the 19th International Symposium on Macrocyclic and Supramolecular Chemistry (ISMSC2025) in conjunction with the 9th NanoLSI Symposium. The talks and poster presentations by our group members were excellent. We’re especially proud to share that our outstanding PhD student, Ayana Miyata (D1), received a Poster Presentation Award!Congratulations, Ayana! 当研究室のメンバーは、第19回国際環状および超分子化学シンポジウム（ISMSC2025）と第9回NanoLSIシンポジウムに参加しました。口頭発表・ポスター発表ともに素晴らしい内容で、好評を博しました。 中でも、博士課程1年の宮田 彩名さんがポスター発表賞を受賞しました！おめでとうございます！

Starting in April 2025, three of our PhD students have been awarded JSPS fellowships. Congratulations to Ayana for receiving the JSPS DC1 fellowship, and to Gaopeng and Tayier for receiving the JSPS DC2 fellowship!We hope they enjoy their research and look forward to seeing their future achievements. 2025年4月より、私たちの学生3名が日本学術振興会（JSPS）特別研究員に採用されました。宮田さんがDC1に、GaopengさんとTayierさんがDC2に採用されました。おめでとうございます！これからの研究生活を楽しみながら、大きな成果をあげてくれることを期待しています。

We’re happy to welcome new students this semester! New students are undergraduate students Hiroto and Takahiro, exchange student Yan-Ling from Taiwan, and KUINEP student Johnpaul Smith from the United States. We hope they enjoy their time here and have fun with their research. 新学期を迎え、新たなメンバーが研究室に加わりました！ 学部生の福山 峰光さんと末永 紘都さん、台湾からの短期留学生 Yan-Ling さん、そしてアメリカから京都大学国際教育プログラム（KUINEP）の Johnpaul Smith さんです。 皆さんが研究を楽しみ、充実した時間を過ごせることを願っています。

"Reliable" is a strong word, but we want to start with it. We don’t use it lightly, but when you meet Tomoki, you’ll be amazed at how well he manages everything. In his research, he explored the effect of bulky groups on the porosity of amorphous solids of MOPs. In the lab, he takes charge…

Porous soft materials are widely used in water purification and other applications because of their excellent porosity and designability. As an expert in this field, Zaoming has worked on pore-networked gels and membranes, making progress in the removal and detection of trace-level pollutants from environmental water. Beyond connecting pores, Zaoming is also great at connecting…

At the end of 2024, we were delighted to welcome two new members to our group, Joe and Heng-Yu, who have joined us as JSPS postdoctoral fellows. We hope they enjoy the winter in Kyoto and find excitement in the research they are about to undertake. 2024年末、私たちのグループに新しいメンバーが2名加わりました。ジョー（Joe）とヘンユー（Heng-yu）は、JSPSポスドクフェローとして参加しました。 京都の冬を楽しむとともに、これから取り組む興味深い研究にやりがいを感じてもらえれば幸いです。

Tina joined our group in November 2023 and has now got an Assistant Professor position in University of Nova Gorica, Slovenia. During her time with us, she demonstrated excellent planning and worked tirelessly on her research, achieving impressive results and preparing a paper for publication. Beyond her research, she brought positivity and joy to our…

For colloidal gels, the gel network determines their mechanical properties. Our group has now developed a light-sensitive gel that can alter the composition of its network when exposed to light of a specific wavelength, significantly enhancing its mechanical properties. This achievement was made possible thanks to our outstanding postdoctoral researcher, David, who shed light on…

Our group members participated in the 74th Conference of Japan Society of Coordination Chemistry (JSCC) this year. Both oral and poster presentations were excellent, and our outstanding student Ayana Miyata (M2) recived the Oral Presentations Award!! Congratulations!! 当研究室のメンバーが2024年の第74回日本錯体化学会（JSCC）年会に参加しました。口頭発表もポスター発表も素晴らしい内容で、M2の宮田 彩名さんが優秀な成績を収め、口頭発表賞を受賞しました！おめでとうございます！！

Small forces can accumulate into great forces. Even weak van der Waals forces, when accumulated, can support a gecko crawling on a wall. This concept also applies to supramolecular chemistry, where dispersed molecular cages can assemble into highly stable structures through the accumulation of van der Waals forces. We call these structures "WaaFs". This idea…
