Although soft and liquid matters are fundamental states of matter and valuable for humans, our physical understanding of these systems lags far behind the solid state due to their complexity and lack of order. Our research group focuses on the spatiotemporal hierarchy of simple liquids and soft matter to develop a unified picture of the physics governing these systems and bring about new developments in liquid and soft matter physics. Specifically, we are investigating non-equilibrium phase transition phenomena in soft matter, the effects of liquids on the dynamic behavior of soft matter and biological systems through hydrodynamic interactions, glass transition phenomena, crystallization, thermodynamic and kinetic anomalies in water-type liquids, the origin of liquid-liquid transition phenomena in single-component liquids, and nonlinear flow and fracture phenomena in liquids and glassy materials. Water exhibits unique properties not seen in other molecular liquids, such as a maximum de
