Two Simon Fraser University researchers are looking to help the province reduce its carbon footprint, and help visually-impaired people learn basic electronics.
Burnaby-based researchers are one step closer to potentially creating more sustainable living solutions, and help the visually impaired use basic electronics, with some new grant funding.
Printable semiconductors The first SFU project listed hopes to create "easy-to-make" eco-friendly semiconductors for self-powered smart sensors. "Research may contribute to the growth of B.C.'s clean tech and high-tech sectors by creating new partnerships with industry, and by training students and researchers in cutting-edge clean technologies."
"This will involve developing hardware and software tools that can be used without vision," the project's profile explains.
