Asai from B3 made cream puffs! They look like delicious soft matter. I wonder what kind of structure they will have if we do a scattering analysis.

At the Next Generation Soft Materials Co-Creation Center event held at Hokkaido University on October 2, 2025, Sakuyo Mizumoto, a fourth-year undergraduate student, gave a poster presentation. The title of the presentation was "Molecular weight limit of the ordinary equation of state for polymer solutions," and it reexamined the equation of state for the thermodynamic properties of polymer solutions from the perspective of molecular weight dependence, presenting a new analysi

We’re excited to welcome Dr. Milena Lama, who joined our group as a Project Assistant Professor on October 1, 2025! Her research focuses on functionalizing natural polymers and on synthesizing and characterizing polymer gels. With her expertise, our group, which has mainly worked on structural and physical analyses, can now explore the creation of new polymeric materials. We’re very much looking forward to working together and developing new ideas.
