Had a meeting with Prof Mohammed Missous at the University of Manchester Microelectronics & Nanostructures Group, to find out about his innovative semiconductor research. He is developing semiconductor materials for ultra high precision sensing, THz (very high frequency) imaging and renewable energy generation.
I was deeply impressed by the amazing quality of the facilities at the University and the innovative nature of the research. Whether in the new Square Kilometre Array to be built at Jodrell bank - a fully digital radio telescope - or in the electricity meters of the future, these devices are clearly going to be very useful indeed.
Professor Missous is also an inspiring science communicator - a great meeting, and we hope to collect examples of his work for the MOSI collection and future displays.
