Our insatiable appetite for computing means ITC already consumes 5–8% of global electricity, and is doubling each decade.
At the launch of a new Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence the audience heard that efficiency gains in current, silicon-based technology are running out. FLEET seeks new, ultra-low energy electronics using cutting edge new science, such as the science of atomically-thin materials and topological materials.
FLEET (The ARC Centre of Excellence in Future Low-Energy Electronics Technologies), which was officially opened on Tuesday 12 June at Monash University, is a collaboration of more than 100 researchers at seven Australian universities and 13 Australian and international science organisations.
