RESEARCH DETAILS
Nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, which are extremely thin, exhibit a distinctive property: quantum mechanical effects remain clearly observable even at high temperatures. Harnessing this characteristic, we aim to develop innovative technologies that manipulate the transport and conversion of heat and light energy, achieving their highly efficient transformation into electricity. Through interdisciplinary research that bridges physics, chemistry, and engineering, we are striving to create nanotechnologies that surpass the limits of conventional material-based systems.
