Message

Established in July 2020, the NTT Space Environment and Energy Research Laboratory conducts research across a broad spectrum of environment and energy fields, including space-related technologies.
Our group aims to create a sustainable society with no environmental impact by implementing breakthrough innovations for next-generation energy technology. We look forward to applications from those who want to join us in creating that society with our own hands.

Next-generation energy transfer connected by electric fields

From an era of connecting electricity with wires to an era of connecting it through space
Through the research and development of wireless power transfer technology using electric-field resonance, we aim to deliver energy freely even in places and environments where it was previously unavailable. Aiming to achieve highly efficient and safe energy transmission by precisely controlling the near-field electric field, we handle everything from antenna design to system evaluation. This technology is being considered for not only terrestrial mobility and IoT devices but also future applications in space infrastructure. Join us in creating a new form of energy transmission that can freely supply energy even in outer space and remote locations.
