Future electronics and theoretical physics: Sam Bladwell interviewed

FLEET’s Sam Bladwell (UNSW) was recently interviewed by Ian Woolf on Diffusion Radio, discussing the ICT energy issue that drives FLEET’s research as well as his own theoretical studies into spin.

Listen to:

  • Future low-energy electronics Battling jetlag, Sam describes spintronics and the need for low-energy electronics (from 6:35min)
  • Spins and valleys Sam describes how his theoretical studies dovetail with experimental physics colleagues (with bonus extra spintronic transistors, valleytronics, and the huge range of research options in condensed matter physics).
