Prof. Dr. Peter Fischer, scientist at the Institute of Computer Engineering at Heidelberg University, explains in a lecture why modern microchip development would be inconceivable without the rules for electrical networks founded by Gustav Kirchhoff. His contribution is part of the Ruperto Carola lecture series entitled “200 Years of Gustav Kirchhoff - Freethinker. Pioneer. Visionary.”, which the university is hosting in the summer semester. The series provides insights into various areas of modern research on which the physicist’s work has had an influence to this day. The event “Not without Kirchhoff’s rules - from transistor to microchip” with Peter Fischer will take place on July 8, 2024 in the auditorium of the Old University and starts at 6.15 pm
