Science Sunday - How Microchips are Made

Ever wondered what goes into making the tiny processors that power your phone, laptop, and just about everything else in modern life? In an upcoming talk, we'll be taking a journey through the remarkable history of microprocessor manufacturing — from the first transistors of the 1940s to the cutting-edge techniques pushing the boundaries of physics today. We'll explore how the industry has managed to pack ever more power into ever smaller spaces, the handful of companies that make it all possible, and what it actually costs the planet to keep the silicon revolution running. Whether you're a tech enthusiast or just curious about the technology shaping our world, it's a fascinating look at one of the last century's most consequential engineering stories.

Join us to learn about how the smallest machines humanity builds are themselves built by the most sophisticated and some of the largest machines we've ever made.
