The lab is a research group that studies the world of atomic nuclei using accelerators.

The Nuclear Matter Group is a lab that works at the Van de Graaff Experimental Facility on the Toyonaka Campus of Osaka University. According to its fiscal 2019 guide, the lab open house, titled "The Nuclear World Seen Through Accelerators," would show accelerators and experimental equipment that are not normally open to view. The lab's website says that anyone who wishes to pursue a graduation research project, or research in a master's or doctoral program, should contact Professor Mitsunori Fukuda. The website's content dates from around fiscal 2019, and no page introducing the lab's research themes has been found.

An experimental nuclear physics lab that approaches the mysteries of the universe through the properties of atomic nuclei.

The Tamii Lab (Fundamental Nuclear Physics Group) studies the properties of nuclear matter made of protons and neutrons, aiming to discover new phenomena and solve mysteries related to how the universe came to be. Using the quantum beams and the “Grand Raiden” spectrometer at the Research Center for Nuclear Physics, Osaka University, the lab carries out joint research with leading research groups around the world. The research covers the electric polarizability of atomic nuclei, the equation of state of neutron stars, and photodisintegration reactions of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays. The lab also develops the detectors and data acquisition systems used in its experiments. On the lab's website, it is also introduced under the name “Tamii Lab.”

The lab explores the physics of learning and of random systems using statistical physics and computational physics.

The Yoshino Lab studies a variety of interdisciplinary themes using the methods of statistical physics and computational physics. Its current main theme is “the physics of learning and design,” together with the “physics of random systems” that underlies it. The lab covers the statistical mechanics of learning in deep neural networks, and the physics of random systems ranging from solid-state physics, soft matter, and active matter to information statistical mechanics. The Yoshino Lab is the Large-Scale Computational Science Division of the D3 Center at Osaka University, and its graduate students belong to the Department of Physics, Graduate School of Science.
