A new type of electronic devices using Triboelectric Nanogenerators

Intelligent devices will be able to use humans as a source of energy. In living systems, energy is located in the form of potentials that are distributed across the lipid bilayer. These are the basic building block of all cell membranes. Triboelectric nanogenerators have the ability to capture not only movement, but also energy from wind, waves or vibration of machines. This is the triboelectric phenomenon. ...

Scientists create the world's smallest snowman - used nanotechnology

Scientists have created the world’s smallest 'snowman', measuring about a fifth of the width of a human hair. To envision how small this snowman is, know that the average human hair is 75 microns thick and Western University's creation is less than three microns. The showman has stick like arms and a carrot shaped nose made of platinum. The first showman from Todd Simpson (Western University) was created in 2005. ...
