Interdisciplinary Research Group 1: Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Energy Crisis
The crisis/global threat: The carbon footprint of today's ICT makes up three percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. The exponential growth of ICT is fast approaching the world's energy production limit.

The Goal: Improve ICT energy efficiency 103-104 X. Using post-complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) technology to solve the ICT crisis.
