PUBLIC LECTURE: Challenges in Materials Science for Sustainable Energy

Energy and materials have a long-standing and mutually enriching relationship. In this lecture Professor Ploog will show that materials science offers unique possibilities to improve key properties of energy supplies. In the long term, materials science will help to promote the use of revolutionary new energy resources, such as hydrogen and fusion, and of new energy storage technologies. This lecture is co-sponsored with the Microelectronics Research Group at UWA and the joint WA IEEE Electron Device/Solid State Circuits/Photonics’ Chapter.
