Microchips sit at the heart of modern life. They power communication, transport, work, defence and food systems, yet their manufacture depends on fragile supply chains, specialised knowledge and a handful of key players. This course explains what microchips are, why they are so strategically important, and why competition over them has become one of the defining struggles of our age. We explore manufacturing, global dependence, China’s rapid push to catch up, American efforts to slow that rise, and the extraordinary machinery on which the whole system depends.
