A Lightweight and Flexible Solar Panel — The Future of Solar Energy?

What do you think when you hear the term “solar energy”? Most of you will think of wide-open spaces, packed to the edges with giant solar panels, and you’d be right—for now. We’re here to tell you that the next generation of solar energy may look very, very different. The solar panels that currently dominate the market are comprised of…

“The Front Lines of Cybersecurity” − Fending Off Hackers and Keeping Our Infrastructure Safe! −

If most of us were pushed to give examples of IoT, we might come up with something vague like network-connected devices or personal tech, without being able to get too specific. Maybe that should be no surprise, because a lot of the advances in IoT are happening behind the scenes, in the industrial sector—in the factory control and manufacturing systems,…

A Helper for the Modern Logistics Industry: A De-Palletizer Robot with Image Recognition

The global logistics sector is growing exponentially as international trade flourishes and global supply chains are expected to be more efficient, smarter and more sustainable to support capital and information flows and exchanges. To address this need, companies are seeking next-generation logistics and efficient delivery management solutions. This is where Toshiba can help. Toshiba has solutions which can be adopted…

“Mother Ganges”: Reviving India’s Lifeline Through Technology

River Ganges: The lifeline of India If early settlements and modern civilizations have anything in common, it’s their proximity to water. From Mesopotamia that flourished around the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, to Egypt that thrived along the banks of the river Nile, rivers have always been the lifeline of all civilizations. In India, it is the river Ganges that has…

Passing the Superconductivity Baton: Turning Adversity into Opportunity

Superconductivity sounds like a superpower, but it’s not—at least not in the traditional sense. It refers to the property of zero electrical resistance in some metals at very low absolute temperatures, allowing high amounts of electric current to pass through the material. Metal that has become superconductive also emits a magnetic field, meaning it can be a very powerful magnet…

Zero Electrical Resistance: Turning Dreams into Reality

In 2013, the Higgs boson came into our collective consciousness—even the least scientific-minded of us—when it won the Nobel Prize in Physics. Though its existence had been theorized since 1964, it wasn’t until 2012 that it was actually discovered. What you may not know, is that this discovery was aided in part by Toshiba superconductivity technologies. Superconductivity is the phenomena…
