Hideo Hosono

Professor Emeritus and Honorary Professor at Tokyo Institute of Technology Institute Professor at MDX Research Center for Element Strategy

Dr. Hosono is a Japanese material scientist most known for the discovery of iron-based superconductors.

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.
