Last month, members of the REWIRE team from the University of Warwick and University of Bristol were in Busan, South Korea, attending the largest global gathering dedicated purely to silicon Carbide. REWIRE Research Fellow Nikolaos Iosifidis shares his highlights from...
As REWIRE’s Centre Manager, I get to witness the sprouting and growing of ideas within an Innovation and Knowledge Centre (IKC) to help deliver impact and novel, disruptive technologies. But from the outside to some, this isn’t always clear. So why do we need these...
In our last post, we looked at how we can turn insulating semiconductor materials into conductors by doping them. This creates either free electrons (n-type) or holes (p-type), allowing current to flow. But the real magic happens when we bring n-type and p-type...
In the first blog, we explored why power semiconductors matter, how they’re set to transform our lives, and why they’re critical for achieving net zero. In this second post, we’re taking a step back to answer a more fundamental question: What exactly is a...
The 2025 Higher Education Export Control Association annual conference convened over 80 practitioners, legal professionals, institutional leaders and government representatives to share best practice on all matters relating to research security. Luntu Hlatshwayo,...
REWIRE's Innovation Director Dr. Katie Hore and REWIRE academics from the Bristol Business School, Prof. Palie Smart and Dr. Minhao Zhang, discuss the importance of critical minerals, their role in the power semiconductor technologies, and insights about the impact of...
Are you curious about the technology that powers your world? From ultra-fast smartphone charging to electric cars with incredible range, power semiconductors are the invisible force making it possible. In ‘Power Semiconductors for Everyone!’, we are going to dive into...
Manasa Ammu shares her experience of an EngD at the University of Warwick in collaboration with Custom Interconnect Limited. I am a second-year EngD student working on the development of gallium nitride (GaN)-based power modules. My research focuses on improving the...
Alex Oliver, Business Partnerships Lead at REWIRE, reflects on presenting at the NMI Conference in March 2025 and considers how collaboration could drive technology innovation for power semiconductors and power electronics. The relentless pace at which technology is...
