What is a semiconductor? Chemistry Calendar, September: Communication

In the ninth video of the Chemistry Calendar we investigate why the name Silicon Valley is associated with a lot of our new technology. Why would one of the elements in the Periodic Table give name to one of the centers for technological research? The Chemistry Calendar is a joint project between Molecular Frontiers, Chalmers University of Technology, University of Gothenburg and Universeum. We work together with film company Untamed Science to launch a video per month during the International Year of Chemistry 2011.
