is a Japanese material scientist most known for the discovery of iron-based superconductors.
Hosono, Hideki Shirakawa and Yoshinori Ohsumi are the three keynote speakers at the Institute of Integrated Research (IIR) founding lecture at the Institute of Science Tokyo.白川・大隅・細野教授が語る「科学研究のために大切なこと」 - 東工大・科学技術創成研究院設立記念講演会 | TECH+（テックプラス）
Early life and education Hosono was born in September 1953 in Saitama Prefecture, Japan, one of the satellite cities of Tokyo. Dropped out of high school (National Institute of Technology, Tokyo College) in 1974, graduated from the Department of Industrial Chemistry of Tokyo Metropolitan University (TMU) in 1977, and obtained a doctorate in engineering from TMU in 1982.
Career and research Hosono is also a pioneer in developing transparent oxide semiconductors: he proposed a material design concept for a transparent amorphous oxide semiconductor (TAOS) with large electron mobility, demonstrated the excellent performance of TAOS thin-film transistors for next generation displays and successfully converted a cement constituent 12CaO·7Al2O3 into transparent semiconductor, metal, and eventually superconductors.Hideo Hosono. fpdchina.orgLaboratoryProfile – Hosono. materia.titech.ac.jpHideo Hosono (2014) "Impression-Inspired Materials Research", Vimeo Youtube.
