Aiming at the realization of fusion power reactors, the Steady-State Plasma Science and Engineering Lab studies and controls the confinement physics of high-temperature plasma exceeding 100 million degrees. Using the spherical tokamak QUEST, the lab researches how to sustain high-temperature plasma in a steady state, and investigates plasma properties such as turbulence through the development of measurement instruments. The lab also carries out joint research on the Large Helical Device (LHD) at the National Institute for Fusion Science and on the PLATO tokamak at Kyushu University. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "IdoHasegawaKinoshita Lab."

The Steady-State Plasma Heating Lab studies the physics and engineering of nuclear fusion using QUEST, Japan's largest spherical tokamak device. Its work includes methods for heating plasma and sustaining current with electromagnetic waves, diagnostic techniques for measuring plasma conditions, and the development of components that handle high-power millimeter waves. Much of the equipment needed for plasma research has to be built in-house, and the lab says that this allows members to build up knowledge, skills, and experience. On the lab's website, the Steady-State Plasma Heating Lab and the Plasma Wave Science and Engineering Lab are introduced together under the name "Idei-Ikezoe Lab (IIlab)."

The Steady-State Plasma Control Lab studies how to maintain and control high-temperature plasma in steady state, using the spherical tokamak experimental device QUEST. Because the interaction between plasma and the vessel wall changes with wall temperature, the lab carries out particle control experiments and modeling using a high-temperature wall. The lab also studies radio-frequency plasma heating and plasma current drive using coaxial helicity injection, working on fundamental research for fusion reactor development. The lab conducts education and research in cooperation with the Idei-Ikezoe Lab and the Ido Lab.

The Boundary Plasma Experiment and Analysis Lab experimentally studies turbulent plasma and its structure formation. Turbulence is thought to play a major role as a mechanism by which plasma escapes (turbulent transport), and understanding it is essential for realizing nuclear fusion. The main education and research theme is how to precisely measure fluctuations at various time and spatial scales, and how to analyze the resulting data to find new insights and laws. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Nagashima Lab."

The Plasma Wave Science and Engineering Lab focuses on waves and fluctuations in fusion plasma and studies their properties and control. Combining experiments, measurements, and simulations, the lab investigates instabilities that occur in high-temperature plasma and interactions between waves and particles. The lab also works on reducing heat and particle loads on the divertor with RF (electromagnetic waves), and on the motion of high-energy electrons. Research is carried out at the spherical tokamak device QUEST on the Chikushi Campus. On the lab's website, it is introduced together with the Steady-State Plasma Heating Lab (Prof. Idei) under the name "Idei-Ikezoe Lab."
