Molecular Technology, Volume 1

Preface

Chemical science enables us to qualitatively change exiting science and technology by purposefully designing and synthesizing molecules and creating the desired physical, chemical, and biological functions of materials and drugs at molecular level. In 2012, we started the big funding project in Japan, “Molecular Technology” (Establishment of Molecular Technology toward the Creation of New Functions (CREST) and Molecular Technology and New Functions (PRESTO)), and numerous research groups in Japan join the project of diverse research areas. All of these are typical transdisciplinary research projects between chemistry and various research areas of science and technology. In other words, Molecular Technology is the brand new scientific ...
