Deut-Switch
Kyoto University
Deut-Switch (MEXT KAKENHI Transformative Research Area (B) “Deuterium Science”) is a research project supported by MEXT, Japan for 2020FY–2022FY. This project aims to better understand the properties of deuterated materials, to explore a research field “Deuterium Science”, and to propose a material design concept “Deut-Switch” that aims to maximize the material functions by precise, logical deuteration of materials.
