Members of the REWRE team took part in a recent BI Foresight Live event hosted at Engine Shed in Bristol focusing on the convergence of critical technologies in power semiconductors and future mobility. The panel brought together experts from across the power...
REWIRE Blog: Highlights from ICSCRM 2025
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...
REWIRE Blog: Delivering the frontier technologies and skills of the future – why we need Innovation and Knowledge Centres to grow the UK semiconductor ecosystem
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...
Power Semiconductors for Everyone – Issue #3: Diodes – The First Electronic Semiconductor Devices
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...
REWIRE hosts Malaysian semiconductor delegation to foster international partnerships
REWIRE welcomed a distinguished semiconductor delegation from Malaysia to the University of Bristol last week, marking a significant step toward deepening international collaboration across research and innovation in power semiconductors and power electronics. Led by...
Three successful projects funded through REWIRE’s first open call for power semiconductor innovation
We were delighted to announce the results of the first REWIRE Open Call for Power Semiconductor Innovation! We are funding three pioneering projects that bring together cutting-edge semiconductor technology with UK academic expertise to tackle key challenges in...
Power Semiconductors for Everyone – Issue #2: The Fundamentals of Semiconductors
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...
