The Energy Reaction and Transport Lab studies how to improve the performance of next-generation energy conversion devices such as fuel cells and flow batteries. The lab works consistently from fabricating materials through to evaluating and analyzing device performance. By clarifying the reaction and transport phenomena that occur in each process, the lab pursues the theoretical upper limit of performance. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Tsushima Lab."

The lab studies how artifact systems suited to a sustainable society should be envisioned, and systematizes methods for designing them. It systematizes design methodologies for the life cycle of artifacts and for product-service systems from the perspectives of the global environment, society, and the economy. The underlying disciplines are design engineering, life cycle engineering, and environmental studies. The foundation of the lab's cutting-edge research is compiled in "Sustainable Systems Design", written by Professor Kobayashi Hideki.

The Nano Fabrication and Metrology Lab (Takaya-Mizutani Lab) studies fabrication and measurement at the micrometer and nanometer scale, which form the foundation of manufacturing. In addition to precision measurement and fabrication using light, the lab works on AI techniques such as machine learning and deep learning, as well as measurement using entangled photon pairs. The lab's guiding philosophy is "Challenge and Surpass": to take on challenges boldly rather than settle for the status quo, overcome difficulties, and surpass oneself in research.

Grounded in mechanics of materials and solid mechanics, the Micro Dynamics Lab studies how the shape and state of things change over time. It focuses on the mechanisms by which microscopic structures change over time as they interact with the external environment and with the connections among their constituent elements. Through theory, experiments, and computation, the lab aims to elucidate these mechanisms and systematize them as an academic discipline. The Japanese term "dorikigaku" (動力学) corresponds to "dynamics" and refers to mechanics that deals with phenomena changing over time.

The Micro Thermal Engineering Lab studies processes of energy utilization and heat transfer using methods such as atomic- and molecular-scale simulation. The lab considers creating new ways of using energy and developing energy-saving technologies to be essential challenges for realizing a sustainable society. The lab independently develops computational techniques such as numerical analysis and deep learning, and also validates simulation results experimentally. The lab's website introduces it as a lab in the Thermal and Fluid Dynamics Group, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering.

The Multiscale Transport Phenomena Lab is jointly run by the Yamaguchi-Kusudo Group and the Tsuji-Washino Group, and studies topics such as liquid wetting and the flow of granular materials. The Yamaguchi-Kusudo Group mainly uses molecular simulation to investigate how nanoscale structures at liquid surfaces, interfaces, and inside liquids determine surface tension, viscosity, wetting, and other properties. The Tsuji Group and the Washino Group investigate granular materials and flows in which particles and fluid are mixed, using numerical models such as the discrete element method. The lab accepts fourth-year undergraduate students in the Mechanical Engineering Course of the Department of Applied Science and Engineering, and graduate students in the Department of Mechanical Engineering.

The Laser Processing Lab aims for a high-level integration of laser science and manufacturing technology, and studies laser-based material processing methods such as joining, cutting, surface modification, and separation and removal, starting from the fundamentals. The lab clarifies what happens during processes such as welding and cutting, and aims to build systems for controlling and optimizing processing based on these results. The lab is developing new welding and joining processes for welding and joining materials with new functions and for joining dissimilar materials. In surface modification, which adds functions to material surfaces, the lab works on controlling how lasers and particle beams are used for thick-film processes such as overlay welding and aerosol deposition.

The Human Assistive Engineering Lab (Ino-Yoshimoto Lab) conducts interdisciplinary research in health and assistive technology, using science and technology to support the daily lives of diverse people. Aiming to create QOL (Quality of Life) technologies that assist, substitute for, and augment physical and mental functions, the lab takes as its guiding principle to learn about humans and build machines. In basic research, the lab works on human measurement. In applied research, it addresses sensory substitution, rehabilitation, lifestyle-related disease prevention, and frailty prevention. The lab also studies human-machine systems, such as virtual reality that expands people's potential.

The Solid Mechanics Lab studies the deformation mechanisms of materials and the evolution of defects across a wide range of time and length scales, from atoms to structural components, and links this research to the design of materials and structures. In particular, the lab uses atomistic simulation to investigate the origins of embrittlement, in which materials lose their inherent strength or function under mechanical, chemical, or thermal environments, taking hydrogen embrittlement of steel as an example. The research has expanded to lightweight, high-strength metallic materials and two-dimensional materials such as MXene, and it also uses data-driven methods such as machine learning. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Matsumoto Lab."

The Spacecraft Dynamics and Control Lab researches technologies for controlling the orbit and attitude of spacecraft such as rockets, satellites, and planetary probes. Because spacecraft behavior follows mechanical models faithfully, the lab uses those models to work on attitude control technologies and trajectory design for next-generation spacecraft that will carry out increasingly diverse and sophisticated missions. The lab also handles the control of mechanical systems other than spacecraft, such as the attitude dynamics of stratospheric balloons and cooperative coverage control of quadcopter swarms. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Satoh Lab."
