Experts from the University of Bristol and Nagoya University are collaborating on groundbreaking advancements in semiconductors and electronics aimed at enhancing energy efficiency and reducing emissions in travel. This initiative, supported by the International Science Partnerships Fund, includes a visit from Nobel Prize-winning physicist Professor Hiroshi Amano, who will share insights on high-efficiency power semiconductor technologies. His expertise in gallium nitride (GaN) is expected to drive the development of next-generation semiconductor chips that could significantly lower electricity consumption and facilitate the integration of renewable energy sources into national grids. The collaboration, centered around the £11 million Innovation and Knowledge Centre (IKC) REWIRE, aims to contribute to the UK’s net-zero goals through pioneering technologies and sustainable practices. Professor Martin Kuball, a key figure in this initiative, expressed optimism about the potential to create transformative solutions for energy efficiency and carbon reduction.
