An Introduction to Nanoelectronics

On June 26, 2020 in All, Computing, Energy Harvesting, Memory, Power, Sensors by Liam Critchley

As components need to get smaller to accommodate consumer needs, manufacturers need a way of doing this. Nanoelectronics is the creation of electrical components using nanomaterials that can not only reduce the size of the device, but also provide the same, if not better, performance.

Harnessing Energy with Nanogenerators

On December 13, 2018 in All, Energy Harvesting, IoT, Power, Sensors by Liam Critchley

Different nanogenerators can generate enough electricity to power a small device through kinetic movements within the device, or by harvesting thermal energy. Even though the amount of electricity generated is small, it is enough for many small remote monitoring devices.
