By precisely engineering symmetry at multiple scales—from atomic to macroscopic levels—the NeRDy group creates materials with unique characteristics, such as extraordinarily strong asymmetric optical activities and exceptional mechanical strength, which are unattainable with conventional materials. The NeRDy group particularly focuses on high-throughput assessment by implementing light-induced asymmetric synthesis. Multi-scale symmetry control enhances the functionality and performance of metamaterials by ensuring that their structural elements are harmoniously aligned across different scales, leading to optimized responses and novel applications in fields ranging from imaging and sensing to energy harvesting and structural engineering.
