Discover research that is advancing the technology we use every day! Find out how new semiconductors are helping advance green technology and stick around to learn more about the physics behind emerging energy sources.

Beyond Silicon: The Future of Semiconductors

Dr Katie Hore ( Innovation Director, REWIRE, University of Bristol)

Semiconductors are the technology behind modern life that you rarely see but rely on every single day. We’ll explore what semiconductors are, how they work, and why we need to go beyond silicon to reach net zero. Learn how new materials like silicon carbide and gallium nitride are making phones charge faster, EVs go farther, and renewable energy more reliable. Plus, get a behind-the-scenes look at how these devices are made—and hear my story of working in this fascinating field.
