Self-powered sensors

Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, 2011
One of the problems associated with miniaturization and portability of sensors is the power supply. Power supplies, such as batteries, are difficult to miniaturize and require a sensor design that allows for easy replacement or recharging. This review describes the field of self-powered sensing, where the sensor itself provides the power for the ...

Self-powered enzyme micropumps

Nature Chemistry, 2014
Non-mechanical nano- and microscale pumps that function without the aid of an external power source and provide precise control over the flow rate in response to specific signals are needed for the development of new autonomous nano- and microscale systems.

Self-powered nanowire devices

Nature Nanotechnology, 2010
The harvesting of mechanical energy from ambient sources could power electrical devices without the need for batteries. However, although the efficiency and durability of harvesting materials such as piezoelectric nanowires have steadily improved, the voltage and power produced by a single nanowire are insufficient for real devices.

Self-Powered Nanotech

Scientific American, 2008
This article explores nanotech machines and says they need a better power source than batteries. The creation of nanogenerators makes power on a tiny scale that may permit the use of waste energy in the form of vibration or the human pulse to power devices. Piezoelectric nanowires could capture the energy to run nanodevices.
