The podcast “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) covers the 110 years of history of Instituto Superior Técnico, through its past, present and future objects.
A collection of objects related to different fields, such as science, music, arts and sports, is the starting point for conversations with people who will tell us more about the history of these objects.
A new episode is released every week. The podcast “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) is part of the Público newspaper podcasts.
Today’s episode (#101) – 7th July 2023: “110 Histórias | 110 Objetos” (“110 Stories, 110 Objects”) – The silicon wafers.
Silicon wafers are a kind of blank canvas that give Técnico researchers endless possibilities for technological applications by creating sensors and circuits. From creating sensors that allow robots to detect the force with which they hold an object to others that analyse the amount of hydrogen in the air around us, the possibilities are endless. Técnico’s silicon wafers are used in a clean room located at the Instituto de Engenharia de Sistemas e Computadores, Microssistemas e Nanotecnologias (INESC MN), where Técnico students have been able to design the sensors, choose materials and develop skills in this engineering field.
