Outline of Final Research Achievements

It is expected to control functions on the electrochemical interface without chemical approaches, and to develop new design method of the interface shape in order to achieve the function control. This study tried to establish new shape design approach by in silico intentional evolving the living’s shapes. The following three numerical systems are developed in order to establish the design approach: (1) system for combination of living shapes, (2) system for evaluation of fluid and electrochemical properties, (3) system for evolution of interface shape. The validation of the proposed approach through electrochemical experiments has not been finished, it is continued.
