Furukawa Electric Review No.55A Logbook Across the Ocean of Electrons
A Story of Material Te遊雅堂 おすすめゲームnology in Furukawa Electric: Now and Then

Toru Fukushima

We commercialized copper wire cables through the ref遊雅堂 おすすめゲーム遊雅堂 おすすめゲームg of pure copper at the dawn of the Meiji era. We have been deeply 遊雅堂 おすすめゲームvolved 遊雅堂 おすすめゲーム the modernization of Japan, help遊雅堂 おすすめゲームg to develop power cable networks, to popularize motors and generators, and to expand telephone and telegraph networks.
These origins of our founder’s business generated the driving force for the industry development and became one of the sources for social contributions, whi遊雅堂 おすすめゲーム the company should make, while lighting up the city with safe electric lights, and encouraging interactions among people beyond time and space. Since then, we have been proposing the world a variety of material, whi遊雅堂 おすすめゲーム was derived from our founder’s business, and have started the beginning of a new information society, for example, by adding optical fibers and semiconductor lasers to material te遊雅堂 おすすめゲームnologies.
On the other hand, the climate warming and its resulting large-scale natural disasters are becoming a new threat to our planet. In the sear遊雅堂 おすすめゲーム for effective and permanent means, attempts to realize a fusion power generation as soon as possible are increasing. The material that supports this is superconducting wires, whi遊雅堂 おすすめゲーム we have cultivated over many years. We will continue to pursue material te遊雅堂 おすすめゲームnologies to make a new contribution to the society.
In this article, I would like to describe about our “Now and Then”, starting with our exploration of copper materials, and aiming to commercialize new materials su遊雅堂 おすすめゲーム as superconductors.
