The Combined Extreme Conditions Physics Lab creates extreme conditions such as high pressure, high magnetic fields, and low temperatures, and measures the properties of materials under them. Quantum phenomena that we rarely notice in everyday life show themselves in the world of extreme conditions, far beyond ordinary intuition. Using ultrahigh-pressure and ultralow-temperature techniques, the lab searches for superconductivity in elements and heavy-fermion materials. On the lab's website, the lab is introduced under the name "Extreme Ultrahigh Pressure."

The Thermal Engineering Lab (Kawahara Lab) conducts basic research on elucidating a wide range of phenomena involving heat and fluids, and on their applications. The lab belongs to the Thermal and Fluid Dynamics Division of the Department of Mechanical Science and Bioengineering, and pursues research in the field of nonlinear dynamics as the Thermal Engineering Group. The lab studies turbulence and the transition to turbulence through both direct numerical simulation and experiments. On the lab's website, the lab is introduced under the name "Kawahara Lab."

The Fluid Mechanics Group (Goto Lab) takes on the challenge of understanding the physics behind the complex phenomena shown by substances that flow, such as air and water (fluids). The lab combines rigorous theoretical analysis, large-scale numerical simulations on supercomputers, and laboratory experiments using the latest measurement techniques. The lab says that once the principles of complex flow phenomena are clarified, it will not only drive progress in new science but also make "technology development that does not rely on trial and error" possible.

The Solid Mechanics Lab conducts fundamental research that analyzes a variety of nonlinear mechanical phenomena in solid materials and structures. Its topics include the geometric design of origami, kirigami, and amigami (knitted paper), fracture and mechanical instability in elastomers, and the mechanics of dislocations and disclinations in crystals. Its distinctive feature is the use of continuum mechanics whose mathematical framework for analysis is extended from Euclidean space to Riemannian manifolds. In addition to theory and computation, the lab builds soft structures with 3D printers and laser cutters and carries out mechanical experiments.

The Polymer Physics Lab studies the mechanical properties of polymers such as gels, rubbers, and elastomers, using statistics and topology. It focuses on a property common to all polymers: they are long, highly flexible, string-like molecules. It analyzes the shapes that such strings form, such as network structures, knots, and links, through theoretical analysis and numerical simulation. The results of this analysis are used to deepen the understanding of macroscopic physical properties.

The Molecular Fluid Dynamics Lab combines molecular fluid dynamics with Nano/Micro Electro Mechanical Systems technology to conduct fundamental research on flow and interfacial phenomena in the bio and nano domains. Fluid-structure interaction analysis and nonlinear nanovibration control are also research subjects, pursued through theory, experiments, and numerical simulation. The lab works on measuring ultra-small ion currents and visualizing molecular flow, controlling micro- and nano-scale multiphase flows with optical radiation pressure, creating micromachines that operate in endolymph, and developing biosensors that detect biomolecules and pathogens. Through this work, the lab aims to build core technologies for next-generation personalized medicine and hearing devices.

The Human Motor Control Lab is built on body science and robotics, and pursues research in two pillars. The first pillar is research that understands and enhances human sensorimotor abilities through interaction between humans and robots. The second is research that builds autonomous robots with excellent skills and intelligence and applies them to medicine and industry. On the lab's website, it is presented under the name "Human Motor Control Group (Nishikawa Lab)."

The Mathematical Solid Mechanics Lab builds mathematical models of the many nonlinear, multiscale, and multiphysics phenomena that occur in solid materials. Its aim is to predictively design solid materials with new functions, as well as processing methods controlled at the atomic level. The research overview page is divided into topics such as deformation and strength of materials, dislocation modeling, diffusion modeling, constitutive models, computational methods, structural materials, nanostructures, and amorphous materials. The department's introduction lists keywords such as modeling of deformation, fracture, and corrosion behavior of materials, and the prediction and design of the mechanical properties of materials using AI and data science. On the lab's website, it is presented under the name Ogata Lab.
