As stated by researchers and Professor Masahide Takahashi of the OPU graduate school of engineering,¨ the molecular orientation of hybrid thin-film material is a concrete example of its central message. We wanted everyone to have access to this knowledge. Using laboratory-grade equipment with 3D printable optical setups, his research group has established an easy, versatile, yet highly sensitive approach to identify the orientation of molecules and chemical bonds in crystalline organic-inorganic hybrid thin film deposited on a substrate as small as 10 nm, “even film with three molecular layers.¨
