Nanotechnology reports recently said that researchers at Empa might be able to solve the problem involving machines and electronic devices and develop a small electricity generator made of quantum dots that will work at room temperature.
Researcher Mickael Perrin, from Empa's Trasport at Nanoscale lab led by Michel Calame, came up with the notion of utilizing graphene nanoribbons, which are considered a specialty of Empa, a Phys.org report specified.
The first-ever graphene nanoribbons were synthesized by another Empa research group, Roman Fasel and his colleagues, at the Nanotech@Surfaces lab of Empa.
For many years already, the researchers at Empa have worked on various methods to develop electronic devices from such nanoribbons.
