The Interaction Functional Materials Lab (Nagashima Lab) studies electronic materials and devices that actively interact with the outside world. The chemical information carried by molecules in our surroundings is thought to be far richer than physical information such as heat, force, light, and sound. Conventional electronic materials have been sealed off from the external environment to prevent degradation, but collecting chemical information requires contact with the outside. The lab designs, at the atomic and molecular level, materials and devices that combine robustness with the ability to distinguish molecules.

The Resource Circulation Materials Lab studies rocks, minerals, cement, and concrete, focusing on materials related to resource circulation and waste disposal. Each faculty member belongs to one of two groups: one handles rocks and minerals, and the other handles cement and concrete materials. Research combines field surveys at inactive and abandoned mines and geothermal power plants, laboratory experiments, and computer simulations. Themes include negative emission technologies that reduce carbon dioxide, geological disposal of radioactive waste, and the mechanisms by which cement hardens.

The Mathematical Physics Engineering Lab conducts theoretical research on quantum condensed matter, centered on superconductors. In quantum condensed matter, many particles behave cooperatively, giving rise to states that cannot be predicted from a single particle. Superconductivity is a representative example: electrons form Cooper pairs, electrical resistance disappears, and magnetic fields are expelled. Focusing on the topological properties of quantum states and the internal degrees of freedom of Cooper pairs, the lab works to elucidate new superconducting states.

The Biomolecular Chemistry Lab conducts research based on bacteria and cells, and on the proteins and polysaccharides they produce. The lab pursues a wide range of work, including developing materials, analytical methods, and therapies that lead to solutions to real problems. The lab hopes to connect its results to fundamental technologies for addressing global warming and the environmental damage caused by plastics.

The Polymer Chemistry Lab studies how to make polymers of various shapes using precise polymerization methods. It efficiently synthesizes polymers with special architectures such as star-shaped, cyclic, and cage-shaped polymers, and examines their physical properties in detail. The lab also develops polymerization methods with a low environmental burden, such as catalysts that contain no heavy metals. It is also developing environmentally friendly materials using sugar chains and polyesters, as well as electrically conductive polymers.

The Advanced Materials Hybrid Engineering Lab studies materials in which metals and metal oxides are combined with carbon, semiconductors, organic molecules, and polymers. The lab creates new materials by understanding the mechanisms at material surfaces and interfaces and controlling them. Its work ranges from designing and synthesizing nanoparticles of about 10 atoms to protecting against corrosion the metal materials used to extract oil in oil fields. Although it is a lab of the Applied Materials Engineering Course, it also works with organic molecules, and it is set up so that students with no prior experience with organic chemistry can learn step by step.

The Advanced High-Temperature Materials Engineering Lab develops heat-resistant materials for harsh high-temperature environments, as well as high-temperature corrosion-resistant coatings. Its targets are materials for equipment that converts heat into energy, such as jet engines, power generation boilers, and gas turbines. Drawing on materials microstructure science, thermodynamics, and strength of materials, the lab conducts fundamental research to improve strength at high temperatures and resistance to oxidation and corrosion. The lab pursues materials with long service life and high reliability.

The Materials Function Engineering Lab studies fracture phenomena in all kinds of materials, including metals, polymers, and composite materials. To operate mechanical products and structures safely, it is essential to accurately understand the mechanical properties of materials. For materials used at high temperature, high pressure, and high vacuum, such as in space structures and combustion engines, the effects of the surrounding environment on the microstructure must also be considered. The lab develops its own testing machines specialized for each material, and applies the findings to improving strength, durability, and reliability.

The Flow Control Lab tackles unsolved problems in fluid dynamics by developing experimental tools that did not exist before. In particular, it is one of the international centers for developing techniques that use ultrasound and light to visualize and measure flows. Its research subjects include turbulence, convection, multiphase flow, and non-Newtonian fluids. As applications, the lab works on development in the fields of ships, wind power, food, and resources.

The Architectural Design Lab studies the role that planning and design play in society today, with a focus on architectural design. Its research fields include both architectural planning and architectural history, and it has surveyed and evaluated architecture in Hokkaido and in other parts of Japan and overseas. The lab also carries out design projects that put the findings of its research into practice. Another goal is to build a system that archives the historical records of Hokkaido architecture the lab has accumulated and makes them widely useful.
