An exponential expansion of the universe, called inflation, is one of the important paradigms of the cosmological scenario and has been convinced by astronomical observations, e.g., of the cosmic microwave background radiation. On the other hand, supersymmetry is one of the most plausible extensions of the standard model, and the gravitational theory is naturally extended to supergravity. In this article, we will study the cosmological inflation within the framework of the supergravity. This study sheds light on the mysteries of the inflation and reheating eras as well as the mechanism of the supersymmetry breaking.

The subject of low energy electron-molecule scattering in the gas phase under single collision conditions is briefly reviewed. First, the Laser Photoelectron Attachment method that has been successfully applied in a number of high resolution studies in the energy range from 〜μeV to less than one eV is discussed. With this method threshold behavior of the attachment process has been clarified for SF_6^-/SF_6 and Cl^-/Cl_2 and cusp structure and vibrarional Feshbach resonance have been observed at the excitation threshold. We then turn to discuss the use of synchrotron photoionization sources for the study of "cold" electron-molecule collisions and results are reported for in the energy range from few meV to about 200meV. For this method we discuss the case of non-polar and polar molecules, where the enhancement of the non-polar cross section with decreasing impact energy is due to virtual states. Finally, recent results of "high resolution" electron-molecule scattering experiments below 10eV are summarized and are also discussed in conjunction with the thermally excited molecule target.

As a problem of physics it is not as simple as it may seem to give a clear answer how the spikes on kompeitoh form through crystallization of sucrose. In this article, we report our recent experimental results on the shape development of kompeitoh, followed by the discussions on similarity of the "ridge forming" processes seen in icicles and stalactites, in the viewpoint of crystallization accompanied by liquid film flow.

Cracks formed in drying granule water mixtures, e.g., soils, are ubiquitous phenomena, but details remain still unclear. Recently, the crack patterns formed in drying starch water mixtures have attracted considerable attention for their likeness to columnar joints. Intriguing columnar joints has fascinated many people for centuries and are studied mainly by field works in geology. By studying detail nature of drying cracks and comparing them with columnar joints, progress in understanding both phenomena is expected.

The problem of impacts between a solid object and fluid surface has long been studied. A familiar example is "stone skipping", which is the bounce of a flat stone against water's surface. A recent experiment revealed that there exists a "magic angle" of 20° between a disk's face and water surface in which the condition of the lowest impact speed necessary for a bounce is minimized. In this study, we show necessary conditions for a bounce using numerical simulation. We also show that a simple numerical model successfully explains the magic angle.

Non-Newtonian fluid with elastic and/or plastic properties often exhibits unexpected behaviors. When a non-Newtonian fluid is driven by vertical oscillation, we observe a new type of behavior: freestanding convection-like rolls. The convection-like flow occurs without the constraint of container boundaries, yet the diameter of the rolls is spontaneously selected for a wide range of parameters. We studied non-dimensional parameters to elucidate the onset mechanism of this self-organizing behavior.

Recent progress in experimental techniques on cold atoms has been stimulating vigorous studies of Bose systems. In cold atom experiments, there is a large degree of freedom in experimental setup design, and time-evolution of the system can be measured directly. These features enable us to study various novel quantum effects in cold atoms. In this article, we discuss junction of Bose condensates confined in one-dimensional potentials theoretically, and introduce a few predictions on the transport phenomena.

One of real pleasures in the computational science is to open a new frontier in science by developing a new methodology that enables us to understand new phenomena. Though the first-principles calculation has been growing as a powerful tool to obtain the electronic structures of solids and surfaces/interfaces of materials, it was still difficult to simulate an electrochemical reaction (electrode reaction) at the liquid/metal interface under the potential difference. We have recently developed a new calculation method to simulate the electrochemical reaction by the first principles calculation and succeeded in "in situ observation" of the electrode reaction. In this article, we explain the method and show the results of the simulation.
