Shih-Chi Yang ( left ) and Amogh Kinikar have each received an Empa Research Award 2023. Image: Empa Two outstanding publications by young researchers were honored with the Empa Research Award. The recipients, Amogh Kinikar and Shih-Chi Yang, wrote their award-winning papers during their doctoral studies at Empa. Former Empa doctoral students Shih-Chi Yang and Amogh Kinikar received the Empa Research Awards 2023 for their outstanding scientific work. Both researchers came across their discoveries partly by chance - but also had the presence of mind and perseverance to follow up on their lucky punch and to recognize its significance. As a doctoral candidate in Empa's nanotech@surfaces laboratory, Amogh Kinikar originally wanted to synthesize certain types of graphene nanoribbons. These flat carbon structures, only one atom thick and a few atoms wide, possess unique and interesting electromagnetic properties.
