Microchip can produce energy even from a simple "pinch" with your finger, say researchers.Scientists hope that nanotechnology to evolve and lead to the emergence of electronics that do not require mains or batteries. research team presented the project within National Meeting and Exposition of the American Society of Science, where microchip used to power LCD screens, but also to transmit radio signals.
"This development is an important step for producing portable electronics that can be powered by body movements without the use batteries or electrical outlets, "said Dr. Zhong Lin Wang of the Georgia Institute of Technology.
" Our Nanogenerators will change everyone's lives in the future. their potential is limited only by human imagination , "he said. nanowires technology works by using zinc oxide, which generate electricity when stretched or bent.
This means that any movement of the body can generate. Wang's team worked to capture and combine the creative energy of millions of nanowires, which are so small that 500 of these threads would reach the size of a human hair. nanogenerator Five working together produce one microampere current at 3 volts, ie the same voltage generated by two AA batteries.
"Several nanowires and multiple generators put together could produce enough energy for powering electronics like the iPod or mobile phone," said Zhong Lin Wang.
