To broaden the foundations of regenerative medical engineering, the Medical Biophysical Chemistry Lab approaches research from two sides: the engineering of materials that control cells, and the biophysics of cells. Using mechanobiology, which studies how cells and tissues respond to their mechanical environment, as a starting point, the lab creates biomaterials that control cell behavior. The lab also studies, from a physical chemistry perspective, how biopolymers such as DNA and proteins assemble, and it researches the control of cell functions using glycopolymers. On the lab's website, the lab is introduced under the name "Kidoaki Lab."

The Theoretical Particle Physics Lab conducts theoretical research on elementary particles, the basic building blocks of the universe. Building on past theoretical and experimental research, the lab tries to answer "ultimate questions" such as what the world is made of and how those constituents interact. Research is carried out in quantum field theory, physics beyond the Standard Model, and particle phenomenology and cosmology based on superstring theory. In the fourth-year special research project, students usually spend the whole year in a reading group going through introductory books on field theory, superstring theory, and particle physics.

The Theoretical Nuclear Physics Lab studies atomic nuclei and hadrons, aiming to understand the dynamics of quantum systems. Atomic nuclei are made only of protons and neutrons, yet they behave in many different ways, including deformation, vibration, and rotation. Using nuclear reactions, which are dynamic phenomena, the lab describes in fine detail how a nucleus changes its shape moment by moment during a reaction. The lab collaborates with researchers at the Research Center for Nuclear Physics at the University of Osaka and the RIKEN Nishina Center for Accelerator-Based Science.

The Quantum Cosmophysics Theory Lab uses quantum information theory to study cosmology and theories of gravity. The lab tackles questions such as "How did the universe begin and evolve?" and "Can gravity and quantum theory be unified?" In cosmology, it studies primordial gravitational waves and dark matter generated at the beginning of the universe, and in gravitational theory, it examines the consistency between gravity and quantum field theory.

The Experimental Particle Physics Lab studies elementary particles and their interactions through experiments using accelerators such as the LHC and J-PARC. Its aim is to probe the mysteries of the early universe, and it also carries out development research for future experiments. The lab's website introduces research activities on ATLAS, COMET, g-2/EDM, and FASER.

The Condensed Matter Theory Lab studies various phenomena seen in nonequilibrium, complex, and disordered systems, using theory based on statistical mechanics and computer simulations. Professor Fukuda mainly studies soft condensed matter (soft matter), centered on liquid crystals, and Lecturer Matsui mainly studies the glass transition and supercooled liquids. The research introduction also includes theoretical studies in sociophysics, which deals with economic phenomena.

The Condensed Matter Theory Lab theoretically studies quantum phenomena in materials that are characterized by topology, a mathematical concept. In topological insulators, the lab investigates electrical conduction and electromagnetic response at the surface. In topological superconductors, it investigates phenomena seen in junction systems as well as fundamental properties. In topological semimetals, the lab works on everything from clarifying fundamental properties to proposing operating principles for devices based on specific materials. In fractional quantum Hall insulators, the lab studies fundamental properties with topological quantum computation in mind.

The Mathematical Physics Lab conducts mathematical research on quantum systems with infinitely many degrees of freedom. The lab theoretically studies many-body correlations, targeting quantum systems, classical systems, and biological systems. It also deals with phase transitions and critical phenomena, as well as biological phenomena.

The Magnetic Physics Lab searches for unusual physical phenomena that appear in magnetic materials and conducts research to clarify their mechanisms. In compounds containing europium (Eu) or ytterbium (Yb), the lab studies phenomena in which the "valence" of the ions switches between 2+ and 3+, or the ions line up in a fixed pattern. The lab captures these behaviors by examining changes under applied pressure and through diffraction experiments using X-rays and neutrons. The lab belongs to the Quantum Condensed Matter field, Condensed Matter Physics chair, Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, Graduate School, Kyushu University.

The Emergent Quantum Matter Lab experimentally studies quantum-mechanical many-body phenomena exhibited by vast numbers of electrons and spins in solids. The lab is interested in unconventional superconductivity, including high-temperature superconductivity, as well as heavy-fermion states, quantum critical phenomena, quantum spin liquids, and topological phenomena. The word "emergent" in the lab's name refers to the appearance, in systems where electrons and spins interact strongly, of new properties that cannot be understood from the properties of the constituents alone. It is a new lab, established in April 2024.
