QuantumWire

Recently, scientists from EPFL have fabricated a device capable of operating in extremely low temperature and low magnetic field environments required by quantum systems. This device efficiently convert heat into electrical voltage using the Nernst effect and exhibits efficiency comparable to current technologies at room temperature. Combining the excellent electrical conductivity of graphene with the semiconductor properties of indium selenide, this device is a two-dimensional object only a few atoms thick. Its novel material composition and structure deliver unprecedented performance, potentially overcoming a significant barrier in quantum computing and revolutionizing cooling systems for future technologies.
