I. Morphology Intelligence
“One look in 3D is worth a thousand words.”
AN LAB develops Morphology Intelligence—a framework that transforms 3D nanoscale structure into quantitative, predictive knowledge for materials design. We focus on polymers, composites, and bio-derived soft materials, where performance emerges from how matter is organized in space and time, not chemistry alone.
By integrating 3D imaging, quantitative morphometry, physics-based modeling, and AI, we convert complex morphologies into measurable descriptor spaces that link synthesis → structure → property → performance. This enables predictable design with minimal experimentation, accelerating discovery in energy, environment, and sustainability-driven materials.

II. Learning from Nature’s Morphological Intelligence
II. Learning from Nature’s Morphological Intelligence
Nature’s materials—such as nacre and bone—achieve exceptional properties through hierarchical organic–inorganic architectures. At AN LAB, we decode these systems using Morphology Intelligence, moving beyond bio-inspiration toward designable and generalizable structure–property rules.
Energy Storage Materials
Nacre-inspired hybrid cathodes combining V₂O₅ and block copolymers demonstrate how morphology-driven design enhances mechanical flexibility without sacrificing electrochemical performance.Functional Conformal Coatings
Brick-and-mortar MXene hybrid coatings achieve high conductivity, mechanical robustness, and substrate-agnostic conformability, enabling applications in sensing and health monitoring.
Across these systems, morphology is not a byproduct of synthesis—it is the governing functional variable.
