待望される新技術と新産業、尾道にも　New Technology and New Industry in High Demand necessary in Onomichi, too

日本の技術力、競争力がこの30年で低下し続け、現在では世界の30位以下、マレーシアやタイの後塵を拝しています。

この状況の中でも、桐蔭横浜大学の宮坂研究室ではペロブスカイト太陽電池の分野で宮坂教授が研究を重ねていることを、先日、ラジオで約一時間のインタビューで聴きました。

この新しい太陽電池は新聞記事のようにホンダがその工業化に注力しているようです。

ペロブスカイト太陽電池とよく似た？色素増感太陽電池の研究は広島大学でも行われており、20年ほど前に研究者にお目にかかり、自分でも簡単な実験をしたことがあります。

なお、ゲームチェンジャーになり得る新技術分野では、チャットGPTなどの高度な自然言語生成技術がその一つで、現時点でも、日本は数百億円の資金で世界の先頭グループの後部に加わり世界での競争が可能とのコメント（松尾　豊教授）もあります。

尾道にもこのような技術開発可能な大学や企業があればいいのに・・・・。

Japan's technological capabilities and competitiveness have continued to decline over the past 30 years, and it now ranks below 30th in the world, behind Malaysia and Thailand.

Under this situation, I recently heard an hour-long radio interview with Professor Miyasaka on the radio about his research in the field of perovskite solar cells in the Miyasaka Laboratory at Toin University of Yokohama.

This new solar cell has been Honda's focus for its industrialization, as reported in the attached newspaper article.

Much like perovskite solar cells (?), dye-sensitized solar cells are also being worked on at Hiroshima University, where I met the researchers about 20 years ago and have done some simple experiments myself.

In the area of new technologies that could be game changers, there are comments (by Professor Yutaka Matsuo) that in the advanced natural language generation technologies such as chat GPT Japan can, even at this point, join the rear of the world's leading group with tens of billions of yen in funding and compete on a global scale.

In the area of new technologies that could be game changers, for example in the advanced natural language generation technology, ChatGPT is one of such technologies, and even at this point, some (like Professor Yutaka Matsuo) have commented  that with tens of billions of yen in funding, it is possible for Japan to join the rear of the world's leading groups and compete on a global scale.

I wish we could have universities and companies in Onomichi that could develop such technologies.
