The Crystal Physics and Engineering Lab (Itakura Lab) conducts research to clarify the relationship between the functions and properties of materials and their microstructure. Developing highly functional materials requires designing the microstructure to meet a variety of needs. Using various methods, including advanced electron microscopy, the lab aims to gain guidance for developing more advanced materials.

The Extreme Environment Materials Lab studies how hydrogen behaves inside materials in environments exposed to high temperatures and radiation, such as fusion reactors and nuclear reactors. Centering on tritium, the hydrogen isotope that serves as fuel for fusion reactors, the lab's work also covers materials related to hydrogen energy and the effective use of radiation. Hydrogen is environmentally friendly, but it also causes problems such as hydrogen embrittlement, which degrades the materials it is used with. On the lab's website, the lab is introduced under the name "Hashizume Lab."

The Materials Structure Control Lab studies the search for new materials and materials development aided by computational science, and the elucidation of new materials and their functions using quantum beams. Based on the "Elements Strategy" concept, which aims to find substitutes for scarce elements, the lab conducts joint research with experimental groups inside and outside the university and with companies, targeting solar cells, rechargeable batteries, superconductors, and more. The lab also works on using computational science on supercomputers to uncover the states of electrons and atoms in materials and theoretically predict new materials. On the lab's website, the lab is introduced under the name "Iikubo-Shimada Lab."

The Surface Materials Science Lab studies solid surfaces from the atomic level. Its main targets are metal and semiconductor surfaces, on which it fabricates and characterizes new two-dimensional thin films. The lab belongs to the Materials Course of the Department of Interdisciplinary Engineering at the undergraduate level, and to the Materials Science and Engineering Major of the Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Engineering Sciences at the graduate level.
Yuta Tsuji, Professor

The Computational Materials Science Lab studies the physical properties and reactivity of molecules, solids, and surfaces and interfaces from the standpoint of theoretical computational science rather than experiment. The lab focuses in particular on topics such as heterogeneous catalytic reactions, molecular electronics, and organic-inorganic interfaces. In recent years, the lab has also used knowledge and methodologies from information science and mathematical science to advance its research. The lab's interest lies not in computational science that pursues accuracy, but in creating a new view of matter and building chemical concepts grounded in quantum theory and orbital theory.

The Molecular Measurement Lab devises and develops new measurement methods for investigating the structure, reactions, and functions of molecules, and applies them to elucidate problems in materials science and engineering. The lab aims to make it possible for anyone to measure molecules and materials in a wide variety of environments, using laser light, synchrotron light, and other tools. Building on physical chemistry and analytical chemistry, the lab approaches solutions to energy and environmental problems. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Harata Lab."

The Biomolecular Functional Chemistry Lab searches for and develops small-molecule compounds that bind to RNA, with the aim of RNA-targeted drug discovery. RNA is attracting attention as a next-generation drug target because of its diverse functions and its links to disease. In addition to searching for small-molecule compounds that can freely manipulate the structure and function of RNA, the lab works on molecular design using information science and machine learning. The lab also conducts applied research on using small-molecule compounds to control intracellular biological reactions involving nucleic acids such as RNA and DNA.

The Advanced Functional Materials Lab studies functional glasses and ceramics that support photonics, electronics, and biotechnology. Using silica, which is abundant as a resource, as the base material, the lab works on making glass with complex shapes through light-based 3D fabrication technology. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Fujino Lab."
Hiroki Ago, Senior Professor

The Advanced Nanomaterials Science Lab studies the precise synthesis of extremely thin, sheet-like materials only one atom thick (two-dimensional materials), the mechanisms by which they form, and the emergence of new properties. The lab aims at electronics applications centered on next-generation semiconductors, and at environmental and energy applications such as hydrogen evolution catalysts. The lab has proposed the concept of "2.5-dimensional materials," made by stacking two-dimensional materials, and is also building its scientific foundation and pursuing applied research. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Ago Lab."
Yoichiro Kuninobu, Professor

The Functional Organic Chemistry Lab studies the creation of high-performance catalysts, the development of practical organic synthesis reactions, and the creation of highly functional organic materials. Through this research, the lab aims to solve energy and environmental problems. The lab studies methods that use noncovalent interactions, such as hydrogen bonding and Lewis acid-base interactions, to carry out C-H bond functionalization at a targeted position. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Kuninobu Lab."
