The Complexity Science Experiment Lab (ΣE Lab) investigates the physical phenomena of magnetically confined plasmas through experiments. Although the equations of motion of individual particles are known, plasmas form the diverse structures observed in the universe, and are regarded as a "treasure trove of complexity." The lab reproduces this complexity in laboratory experiments that are within reach, and studies it. The lab is based at the National Institute for Fusion Science (Toki, Gifu Prefecture) and uses large fusion experimental devices as well as experimental devices it has developed itself. Professor Nagaoka also holds a concurrent appointment at the Graduate School of Science, Nagoya University, but is usually at the National Institute for Fusion Science.

The Solid-State Magnetic Resonance Lab carries out experimental research on the quantum phenomena exhibited by electrons in solids, using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) as its main measurement method. The lab's targets are electron systems known as strongly correlated electron systems, in which a variety of phenomena appear, such as superconductivity, quantum liquids, and transitions between metals and insulators. By combining ultrahigh-pressure techniques with ultrafast pulsed Fourier-transform techniques, the lab also takes on NMR of the nuclei of difficult transition-metal atoms. From fiscal 2022 to 2024, Lecturer Taku Matsushita studied quantum fluids of helium-3 confined in nanosized pores using nuclear magnetic resonance.

The Nanomagnetism and Spin Physics Lab studies the unusual magnetic and spin properties that appear when electrons are confined in very small regions, such as thin films and nanoparticles. In addition to charge, electrons have spin angular momentum, and the interactions between spins give rise to a rich variety of phenomena known as magnetism. The lab artificially creates surfaces and interfaces to control the environment of the electrons, and investigates the origins of phenomena that appear at the nanoscale. This research area is broadly called spintronics, and it is advancing from both the condensed matter physics side and the engineering side. The lab's website also introduces it under the name "J Lab."

The Optical Solid-State Physics Lab (O Lab) is a new lab launched in fiscal year 2024 that studies the behavior of electrons in solids. The lab develops its own cutting-edge measurement instruments that take advantage of the properties of lasers, aiming to clarify the properties of various materials and open up new functions. Using photoemission spectroscopy, the lab investigates the mechanisms of complex phenomena in strongly correlated materials and high-temperature superconductors from the viewpoint of electronic states, and it also examines how solids respond to light using an ultrafast time-resolved electron microscope. Working with labs that specialize in materials synthesis and theoretical calculation, the lab carries out research with a focus on measurement.

The D Lab uses high-speed atomic force microscopy (high-speed AFM) to observe, at the nanoscale, how molecules such as proteins move in liquid. Centered on developing instruments and analysis software, the lab works consistently from elucidating how proteins function to studying synthetic supramolecules and polymer films. Since 2025, the lab has also started new research on creating "cyborg molecules," which fuse artificial molecules with proteins. An internationally diverse team combines instrument development, experiments, analysis, and theory in its research.

The G Lab studies the mechanisms of photosynthesis carried out by plants and algae. Photosynthesis is an elaborate system created by nature that converts the energy of sunlight into energy for life activities with high efficiency. Using a variety of physicochemical methods, the lab aims to elucidate photosynthetic energy conversion at the atomic and molecular level. Lab visits and tours are welcome at any time.

The Cellular Information Biophysics Lab (K Lab) studies the mechanisms and processes of information conversion and transmission seen in biological phenomena, using molecules and cells as its subjects. At the molecular level, the lab works on the mechanism of protein folding and the mechanism that generates circadian rhythms in biological clocks. At the cellular level, it investigates the mechanism of information transmission at presynaptic nerve terminals and the mechanisms of its plasticity. In its biological clock research, the lab focuses on the physical aspects of proteins, with the goal of understanding how biological phenomena work.

The Atmospheric Environmental Change Lab studies changes in Earth's climate and atmospheric environment, focusing on atmospheric particles (aerosols, cloud droplets, and precipitation particles) and trace gas components. Based on the physics and chemistry of the atmosphere from the troposphere to the mesosphere, the lab also takes into account links with Earth's surface environment and the space environment. Through numerical simulations and observations, it works to elucidate the mechanisms of climate and atmospheric environmental change and to improve future predictions. The lab belongs to the Division for Meteorology and Atmospheric Research at the Institute for Space-Earth Environmental Research, Nagoya University.

The Division for Ionospheric and Magnetospheric Research studies how solar wind energy is transported to the magnetosphere and ionosphere, and how the magnetosphere, ionosphere, and thermosphere interact with one another. Some of the solar wind particles and energy that reach Earth are trapped in the magnetosphere. They are then absorbed as heat in the ionosphere, which lies in the upper atmosphere, or flow back out into space. The aurora is a representative phenomenon showing how solar wind energy stored in the magnetosphere affects the electromagnetic environment. Through three groups, the lab carries out observations with large radars in northern Europe, ground-based observation networks, and the development of instruments to be carried on space probes.

The Solar-Terrestrial Environment Physics (SST) Lab studies the structure and variability of the "solar-terrestrial environment," which consists of the Sun and Earth, as a single system. Research topics are wide-ranging, from solar activity such as solar flares and sunspots to geomagnetic and electromagnetic phenomena on Earth such as the aurora and magnetic storms. In collaboration with researchers in Japan and abroad, the lab pursues integrated analysis research that combines the analysis of huge volumes of ground-based and satellite observation data with state-of-the-art computer simulations. The lab also works with related institutions on research to advance space weather forecasting, which aims to scientifically understand and predict variations in the solar-terrestrial environment.
