Power from Fabrics
===================================
By Prachi Patel-Predd - February 14, 2008
Power suit: Gold-plated zinc oxide nanowires (yellow), each about
3.5 micrometers tall, are grown on a flexible polymer fiber. The
gold-plated nanowires brush against untreated nanowires (green),
which flex and generate current. Yarn spun from the fibers could
lead to fabrics that convert body movements into electric current.

Georgia Tech researchers have taken an important step toward
creating fabrics that could generate power from the wearer's
walking, breathing, and heartbeats. The researchers, led by
materials-science professor Zhong Lin Wang, have made a flexible
fiber coated with zinc oxide nanowires that can convert mechanical
energy into electricity. The fibers, the researchers say, should be
able to harvest any kind of vibration or motion for electric
current ,...
