The Transition Metal Complex Chemistry Lab studies "clusters," compounds in which many metal atoms work together. Clusters behave differently from both complexes of one or two atoms and larger nanoparticles. The lab develops synthetic methods that assemble clusters exactly as intended at the atomic level, and aims to apply them to difficult reactions such as the reduction of carbon dioxide and nitrogen. The goal is to lead to efficient energy storage and new ways of producing substances.

The Physical Chemistry of Materials Lab (Seki Lab) is developing the time-resolved microwave conductivity (TRMC) method, which uses microwaves to measure the charge mobility of semiconductor materials quickly, in a non-contact, non-destructive way. The lab is extending this method to measurements at semiconductor-insulator interfaces and under high pressure, and also works on designing organic semiconductor materials with a focus on molecular shape and on creating nanowires using ion beams.

The Bioorganic Chemistry Lab studies how to trigger organic chemical reactions inside cells and inside the bodies of living organisms. It is a chemical biology lab that combines organic chemistry, molecular recognition chemistry, analytical chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology. The lab develops molecular probes for studying biomolecules such as proteins and lipids. Using these tools, it takes on the challenges of understanding how the brain works and developing new cancer therapies.

The Molecular Biochemistry Lab studies the "invisible stress" that living organisms experience and the mechanisms by which they respond to it. Fluctuations in oxygen, reactive oxygen species, and pH can trigger aging and disease, but they also act as forces that direct development and evolution. The lab develops technologies to make stress visible, and investigates how it is sensed and responded to, how cancer arises, and how mammals evolved. Combining chemistry and biology, it also tackles the mystery of the origin of life across disciplinary boundaries.

The Applied Superconductivity Lab studies how to apply superconductivity, in which electrical resistance drops to zero, to a wide range of fields. Superconducting wires can transmit electricity without loss, and they can carry far more current than copper wires of the same thickness, producing strong magnetic fields. The lab clarifies the invisible electromagnetic phenomena that occur inside superconducting materials and uses that understanding to design devices. The work proceeds through both experimental evaluation and large-scale simulations on a dedicated computer server.

The Earth Atmosphere Measurement group (Hashiguchi Lab) applies the latest technologies in electrical and electronic engineering and in communications and information engineering to the science of Earth's atmosphere. To capture changes in the Earth's environment and predict the future, the atmosphere must first be observed precisely. The lab develops its own remote sensing instruments to collect atmospheric data, and analyzes that data together with data from international observation networks. Its research is interdisciplinary, lying at the boundary between engineering and science, and the lab also puts great effort into international collaborative research.

The Device Process Engineering Lab studies new ways of making materials and devices to help solve energy problems. Using thin-film fabrication techniques that control structure and composition at the atomic level, the lab creates oxide thin films with new structures and functions. Using methods such as terahertz spectroscopy with ultrashort-pulse lasers, the lab investigates the motion of electrons and ions inside materials. The lab handles the whole process consistently, from material synthesis to device fabrication and the measurement and analysis of properties.

The Plasma Energy Conversion Lab conducts basic research on magnetically confined plasma for nuclear fusion. By finely controlling the interaction between charged particles and electromagnetic fields, the lab generates and heats high-temperature plasma and drives current in it. The lab also explores methods of injecting neutral particle beams from large ion sources to create high-density plasma and improve confinement. The lab develops its own diagnostic instruments using microwaves and spectroscopy, and pursues both experiment and theory.

The Stellar Physics group studies stellar activity phenomena in a broad sense, mainly based on observations in X-rays, visible light, and infrared. It also works on observations of accretion flows and jets around compact objects such as black holes, as well as supernovae and exoplanets. Research topics also include the structure of active galactic nuclei and the co-evolution of galaxies and supermassive black holes.

The Petrology Group is one of the two groups that make up the Earth Materials Science division, and it studies the igneous and metamorphic rocks that make up the crust and mantle. The group carries out fieldwork, as well as laboratory microanalysis of minerals and analysis of rocks. From the histories of temperature, pressure, deformation, and time recorded in metamorphic and plutonic rocks, the group studies processes that occur in continental collision zones and subduction zones. Using fluid inclusions and small inclusions of granitic composition and glass trapped in rocks, the group investigates fluid activity and partial melting in the deep crust. The group also pursues research that combines petrology with geochronology (petrochronology). The Mineralogy Group of the same division is introduced as a separate lab, the Mineralogy Lab.
