Another advantage of glass is its ability as a solvent, which allows it to dissolve and retain various elements including toxic and\/or radioactive ones. Glass can be a key material to solve environmental and energy problems. In our group, we contribute to resource and energy saving through the research and development of functional glass and ceramic materials. We are also studying on efficient process of recycling inorganic wastes based on physics and chemistry of glass materials.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gels.okayama-u.ac.jp\/en\/research_highlights\/index_id147.html\">Research Highlights<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ecm.okayama-u.ac.jp\/ceramics\/\">Link to group homepage<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<table class=\"el_table_fix\" style=\"width: 100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"width: 20%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elst.okayama-u.ac.jp\/up_load_files\/areas\/areas01_energy\/BENINO Yasuhiko.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"408\"><\/th>\n<td style=\"width: 80%\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;font-size: 12px;margin-left: -20px\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Assoc.
