The Solid State Electronic Properties Lab creates new materials, examines their properties precisely, and searches for new quantum phenomena. As with the discovery of copper-oxide high-temperature superconductors, the development of new materials has played a major role in the advance of condensed matter physics. Through the search for original new materials and the evaluation of their physical properties with advanced measurements, the lab aims to experimentally verify quantum phases predicted by theory.

The Low-Dimensional Materials Physics Lab experimentally studies new quantum phenomena that appear in materials where electron motion is confined to one or two dimensions. Using NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) as its main method, the lab investigates various ordered states in molecular conductors and strongly correlated electron systems. Using electrical and magnetization measurements at low temperatures, high magnetic fields, and high pressures, as well as low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy, the lab studies superconductivity and charge and spin density waves. The lab also studies topological quantum phenomena in small samples made by microfabrication, and can synthesize the organic compounds used in its research within the lab.

The Observational Astronomy Lab studies, through radio observations, where and how stars form within galaxies. It investigates the distribution, mass, motion, and properties of the cold interstellar gas that forms the raw material for stars, using imaging observations of radio spectra and the resulting data. The lab also studies galaxy morphology using archival data from infrared satellites, and builds radio observing instruments.

The Quantum Condensed Matter Physics Lab works both on creating new materials and on discovering properties that are not yet known. In experiments, the lab develops quantum materials that show superconductivity or magnetism. It makes samples by high-pressure synthesis and vacuum deposition, examines them with diffraction experiments and electron microscopy, and measures how electricity flows through them and their magnetization. In theory, the lab uses field theory to calculate how electrons flow in spintronic devices and topological insulators. The lab is located in the Research Institute for Electronic Science, and students from the Department of Physics carry out their graduation research here.

The Fundamental Medical Physics Lab systematically measures how readily the nuclear reactions occur that produce radioisotopes (RIs) used in radiation therapy and nuclear medicine examinations. RIs decay over time, and when they do, they emit alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. This property is used in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. To produce the required amount of RI each time, the reaction cross section, which indicates how much RI is produced in a nuclear reaction, is essential basic data. The research is carried out as international collaboration with researchers at institutions such as RIKEN and the Institute for Nuclear Research in Hungary.

The Physical Chemistry Lab studies chemical reactions that occur at electrode surfaces and interfaces. Its goal is to build electrode reaction systems that generate renewable energy efficiently. The lab designs new nanostructured electrodes and investigates them by combining electrode reaction measurements, highly sensitive spectroscopy, and the theory of electron transfer at surfaces. By freely controlling the flow of electrons, light, and ions, the lab explores ways of using energy that are not limited by the intrinsic properties of materials.

The Quantum Chemistry Lab calculates electronic states on computers to study the mechanisms and dynamics of chemical reactions. Computational chemistry is expected to play a role not only in reproducing and interpreting experimental data but also as a "predictive chemical theory." The lab develops its own programs for computational methods that trace reaction pathways, electronic structure theory, and informatics. It also works with experimental labs to elucidate the mechanisms of light-driven reactions and to propose new catalysts.

The Theoretical Chemistry Lab studies methods that automatically predict the pathways of chemical reactions on a computer, based on quantum chemical calculations. Using the automated reaction path search method developed in the lab, it works to understand the mechanisms of complex reactions and to predict unknown reactions. Through WPI-ICReDD and ERATO projects, the lab collaborates closely with experimental groups and also searches for catalysts and materials using data science. The main experimental equipment is the computer, and students can choose their research topics according to their interests.

The Structural Chemistry Lab studies how proteins work inside living organisms, based on their structures. The lab investigates how the body keeps essential metals such as iron, copper, and zinc at constant levels, and how electrons are passed along when cells produce energy. The lab combines biochemical methods for producing and purifying proteins with physical chemistry methods such as NMR and spectroscopic instruments. The lab aims for research that leads to structure-based drug discovery, new therapies, and the design of artificial proteins.

The Materials Chemistry Lab studies how to create materials with new functions from systems in which multiple compounds are mixed. Rather than working with a single pure compound, the lab focuses on the functions, structures, and reactions that arise precisely because compounds are mixed. By controlling how compounds assemble and separate, the lab builds different structures and lets them exchange matter and energy. The lab designs stimuli-responsive materials, such as polymers that absorb large amounts of oil and polymers whose solubility changes with temperature.
