Excellent news and a great win for the School of Physics at UNSW: the academics and PhD students from the School of Physics will be involved in the new ARC Centre of Excellence in Future Low-Energy Electronics Technologies. The Centre will be led by Professor Michael Fuhrer and will be established at the Monash University.
The Centre aims to develop the scientific foundation for new electronics technologies. Decreasing energy use is a major societal challenge. The Centre aims to meet that challenge by realising fundamentally new types of electronic conduction without resistance in solid-state systems at room temperature. Novel resistance-free electronic phenomena at room temperature are expected to form the basis of integrated electronics technology with ultra-low energy consumption.
