Abstract
In his talk, Richard Friend tells the story of the unplanned discoveries and breakthroughs that have led from ‘blue skies’ research on the electronic properties of semiconducting molecules to the development of real technology. His talk will take us from the basic research on plastic semiconductors and the realm of quantum mechanics through to his experiences of the commercialisation of his team’s ideas as part of the high-technology cluster which has built up around Cambridge University.
Series This talk is part of the Stokes Society, Pembroke College series.
