Exotic Nanocarbons Project have been completed on March , 2014.
Thank you very much for your longtime support and help on our project.

Our future vision

Our lives will likely change in the next 10 years.
Resource and energy conservation will be more and more desirable and the role of science, technology and engineering will become more important. Exotic nanocarbons, which were born in this era, will provide us with innovative changes in our future lives and so they are called the "new dream materials."

The properties of nanocarbon based on carbon nanotubes (CNT) greatly change depending on the way the structure is controlled and the atoms that are combined with it. New materials that have properties that are completely different than normal carbon materials, giving them a wide range of applications, are the "exotic nanocarbons." Carbon nanotubes have many structures, and ions and atoms can be combined with them. Depending on the combination, materials with various capabilities can be made.

They are extremely light and strong and have good conductance. These properties and more open up possibilities in the varied fields of the environment/energy, biotechnology/medicine, aerospace and next generation automobiles, and make innovations possible. Exotic nanocarbons hold the key to open up a new future.

aerospace
Space elevator potential There is a plan to connect the Earth and a space station in geosynchronous orbit at an altitude of 36,000km with stranded wires made with CNTs and ENCs. This is possible because CNTs and ENCs are tens of times stronger than steel.
aerospace
Next generation automobiles
Dramatic improvements in Industry Development of high capacity energy storage materials leads to dramatic improvements in the performance of fuel cells, which can be used in hybrid and electric vehicles. Already, it has been found that using CNTs in lead-acid batteries doubles the battery life. Moreover, CNTs have already made contributions to lithium-ion batteries.

Biotechnology/medicine
Use in medical devices ENCs have received much attention because they have an extremely wide range of applications. For medical applications, their toughness can be used to create materials with a high resistance to wear and their lightness, strength and property that they can be inserted into the human body without creating blood clots can be used to create medical devices such as artificial veins and stomachs.
Biotechnology/medicine
Nano-electronics
Innovations in computer technology There are semiconductor-like ENCs whose electrical conductance changes sensitively according to the ambient electric field and temperature. If these are used as components, an extremely small semiconductor device can be created. In the fields of conductors and semiconductor devices, ENCs bring hope to the creation of new materials such as transparent conducting films

The environment/energy
Contributions to energy problems, prevention of global warming ENCs can be used to combat global warming through their use in environmental technology such as fuel cells, lithium-ion batteries and solar cells. Also, research into their use in seal materials for oil drilling applications, water pipes and column pipes is already under way and big contributions for areas that suffer from a lack of water are expected.

ENCs are carbon based materials, so if they are mass produced, then the solidification of carbon and the production of hydrogen will be dramatically improved. This will have a huge impact on the prevention of global warming.
