Microgenerator based on nanowires replaces battery
Sensors without a battery, powered by the temperature difference between the surface to which the sensor is attached and the surroundings: Daniel Vakulov designed a microgenerator based on nanowires that makes this a possibility. Minuscule smart sensors, reporting measurements wirelessly over the internet, are already being used to monitor industrial and logistics processes. In all […]
