Materials Webinar | Defective Functional Materials for AI Chips, Next Generation Sensors and Terahertz Electronics, 7 November 2025

5 November 2025


This webinar explores the cutting-edge frontier of defective functional materials for AI chips, next-generation sensors, and Terahertz electronics. This rapidly evolving field is reshaping the future of intelligent systems, sensing technologies, and ultra-high-frequency electronics.

The discussions featured in this session aim to demonstrate how defects in functional materials, often seen as limitations, can be harnessed to enhance performance in AI chips, unlock new sensing modalities, and push the boundaries of terahertz electronics. We’ll explore how these innovations are enabling smarter, faster, and more resilient technologies across disciplines.
