By creating technologies that exist nowhere else in the world, I.S.T makes the impossible possible. Since its foundation, I.S.T has demonstrated that drive time and time again. For example, we developed composite technology for joining two substances that could never be chemically combined before. We succeeded in developing a technology that can heat only selected, specialized substances within synthetic materials. And we're developing a steady stream of new materials all the time. Many of the other technologies we develop make the impossible possible as well. We're also working hard to develop the original equipment researchers use to generate the technologies of the future, blazing new trails into the realm of possibility. I.S.T is also an enthusiastic promoter of joint research with universities and other institutions, both in Japan and around the world. Today I.S.T is sowing the seeds of future generations of technology in a diverse field of themes, throughout many research centers in Japan and the rest of the globe.
