2023 Workshop on JUNCTIONS: Japan-US Network for Clean energy Technologies Involving Oriented Nanotubes

Here we celebrate the start of the PIRE-JUNCTION project, which is supported by the NSF, US, and the JSPS, Japan. The “PIRE-JUNCTION” is “Partnerships for International Research and Education (PIRE)” -“Japan-US Network for Clean Energy Technologies Involving Oriented Nanotubes (JUNCTION)”. In this project, we will advance clean energy science and technologies using nanotubes and nanomaterials through various joint researches between US and Japan.

The project title is "JUNCTION". We put two meanings on the term of “JUNCTION". One is the“JUNCTION” for the US and Japanese scientists to facilitate collaboration research and education, and the other is the “JUNCTION”of nanotubes, 2D materials, and nano-materials where we have our scientific and technological interest. Here we organize the kick-off workshop of this JUNCTION program. This workshop is intended to provide a forum for discussing science, measurement techniques, and applications relating the subject of “JUNCTION”. We wish the workshop can work as a JUNCTION to facilitate active collaborations among US-Japan researchers.
