The transistor turns 75 as Europe considers chip manufacturing to achieve more technological sovereignty
The transistor is a microelectronic component that is counted by the millions in computers, cell phones, rockets and washing machines. It is at the heart of the digital revolution, is fundamental to microelectronics and is key to understanding the current semiconductor crisis. The Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona is celebrating it with an event on Tuesday, May 24 at the Institut d'Estudis Catalans in Barcelona. There will be a talk by its director, Luis Fonseca, on the causes of the crisis, and an informative lecture by Professor Ignacio Mártil.

The CSIC collaborates in the first European platform for open access to unique research infrastructures in nanoscience
NFFA-Europe began in 2015 as a project funded by Horizon 2020 and is now materializing as a pilot platform for free and open access to large nanoscience research infrastructures with 22 European collaborators. The platform has just published a memorandum of understanding to explore the future sustainability of the initiative. The IMB-CNM-CSIC, the ICMAB-CSIC and the ICMM-CSIC are the CSIC centers that make up the consortium.
