Nanogenerator system……….Credit: NanoLetters, American Chemical Society One day the world may well be blanketed with sensors (metaphorically). If so, it will be the result of advances in nanotechnology. Perhaps it will be derived from the work of Zhong Lin Wang and his group of ambitious researchers at The Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech, Atlanta, [...]

Tiny generators for tiny sensors

News: Sensor Technology    April 5, 2010
Nanosensors – sensor devices built at the nanoscale (1/100,000 the width of a human hair) – need energy to run. Nanobatteries are one approach under development. Another technology is nanogenerators, nanoscale devices that create electricity from the mechanical energy provided by the environment such as wave action, wind motion, and body movement. Researchers at the [...]
