Recent progress of positron annihilation spectroscopy as a sensitive probe of nano-scale sites in materials is reviewed. The developments of a new experimental technique, coincidence Doppler broadening, and the positron-electron two component density functional first-principles calculations have enabled us to obtain useful information on atomic and electronic structures at positron trapping sites which is never obtained by other techniques. The several examples shown in this review, such as embedded nano-clusters and vacancy-solute complexes, demonstrate the usefulness of positron annihilation spectroscopy.

Topological string was initially introduced as a "toy model" of string theory, but the author and his collaborators discovered that it can be directly applied to problems in superstring theory, which is a unified theory of elementary particles including gravity. We will discuss how topological string theory is used to address important questions in elementary particle physics such as quantum states of black holes and strongly coupled problems in four-dimensional gauge theories.

Although it is difficult to treat transuranium (Np, Pu, etc.) compounds because of the radioactivity, these compounds are important for understanding the exotic electronic property in 5f-elecron systems. Recently, new Pu-based superconductors with a high T
c have been discovered and attract a large interest. We have succeeded in growing a single-crystal of new superconductor PuRhGa
5. Anisotropic properties and NMR spin-lattice relaxation rate in the normal and superconducting states have been measured using the single crystal.

Chemical Marangoni effect has been known to cause self-agitation in an oil-water system induced by interfacial instability since more than a century ago. Here, we will show some successful examples in the generation of regular motion of an oil droplet driven by fluctuating interfacial tension, by providing appropriate geometrical constraint on the motional freedom. Such realization of a regular motion will inspire the studies on the direct energy conversion from chemical into mechanical energy in, for example, living matter.

The world's ocean can be seen as an open dissipative system connected with its surroundings by the exchange fluxes of heat and freshwater. Two ideas have been proposed to explain the stability of the open dissipative system : the principle of minimum entropy production and the principle of maximum entropy production (MEP). It can be considered that MEP is valid for a highly nonlinear and non-equilibrium system such as the ocean system. We showed by numerical simulations that irreversible transitions to a state with higher entropy production occur in the ocean system and support MEP.

Fermi-liquid theory has achieved great success in describing the electronic states of metals. One of the most fundamental relation in Fermi-liquid theory is the Kadowaki-Woods (KW) relation. Recent our studies have shown, however, that the relation is broken for heavy-fermion compounds with large degeneracy. Based on the Fermi-liquid theory, we have successfully derived a new relation; the grand-KW relation, which is universally applicable to whole the heavy-fermion systems with general degeneracy. The grand-KW relation shows an excellent agreement with experimental data, and hence will be indispensable in the research of Fermi-liquid systems.

Gauge/String duality is one of the promising tools to explore non-perturbative aspects of non-abelian gauge theories. In this particle, we propose a new string model which corresponds to QCD with massless flavor quarks. It is found that various low-energy phenomena of the hadron physics can be figured out from this model.
