Wonderfest: Does Moore’s Law Apply to Energy Technology?

Moore's Law describes a long-term trend in the history of computing hardware, in which the number of transistors that can be placed inexpensively on an integrated circuit has doubled approximately every two years.

With the world yearning for new energy solutions to combat emerging global crises, the hope of accelerated advancement is driving investment - to re-create the explosion of the tech industry. However, those expectations have yet to be matched by any 'Google of Greentech'. Thus the question, Does Moore's Law apply to energy technology?

Will history repeat itself in the energy sector? Find out from two top energy experts in this provocative discussion.

Speakers:
Christopher Chidsey, Associate Professor of Chemistry & of Chemical Engineering, Stanford
Cyrus Wadia, Faculty & Co-Director, Clean Tech to Market, Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley

About Wonderfest Dialogues:
Wonderfest dialogues between pairs of researchers reveal the human/emotional side of science, and they entrust the listener with the responsibility of making up his/her own mind. They are divided into 3 equal segments: 30 minutes of introductory background remarks, 30 minutes of “debate,” and then 30 minutes of questions from the audience. High school science faculty serve as discussion moderators, and student volunteers offer assistance at each venue.

Wonderfest

Wonderfest’s broad goals are best described by its mission statement: Through public discourse about provocative scientific questions, Wonderfest aspires to stimulate curiosity, promote careful reasoning, challenge unexamined beliefs, and encourage life-long learning. Wonderfest achieves these ends by presenting series of scientific events to the general public. At most of these events, pairs of articulate and accomplished researchers discuss and debate compelling questions at the edge of scientific understanding.
