A Hybrid Nano-Energy Harvester
Nanoscale generators can turn ambient mechanical energy–vibrations, fluid flow, and even biological movement–into a power source. Now researchers have combined a nanogenerator with a solar cell to create an integrated mechanical- and solar-energy-harvesting device. This hybrid generator is the first of its kind and might be used, for instance, to power airplane sensors by capturing [...]
Next Big Thing Is Really Small, Crown Business Briefings Book Ser., Jack Uldrich, Book – Barnes & Noble
Although nanotechnology deals with the very small – a nanometer is 1/80,000th the diameter of a human hair – it is going to be huge. From the food we eat, the clothes we wear, and the products we manufacture to the composition of our bodies, everything is made of atoms. And if we can manipulate [...]

Nanotechnology and Medical Research
Advances in medical technology necessarily depend on our understanding of living systems. With the kind of devices discussed earlier, we should be able to explore and analyze living systems in greater detail than ever before considered possible.
Autonomous molecular machines, operating in the human body, could monitor levels of different compounds and store [...]
