Nano Radios
Nano Radio
Alex Zettl, The physicist at the University of California, Berkeley,
and his colleagues have come up with a nanoscale radio, in
which the key circuitry consists of a single carbon nanotube.
Nano Radios built from Nano tubes could improve everything
from cell phones to medical diagnostics .
At the core of the nanoradio is a single molecule that can
receive radio signals.
Tiny radio devices could improve cell phones and allow
communication between tiny devices, such as environmental
sensors.
New nanotech tools are allowing researchers to fabricate very
small devices. The nanoradio is one of the latest.
Nano Radio II
A nanoradio is a carbon nanotube
anchored to an electrode, with a second
electrode just beyond its free end. When a
voltage is applied between the electrodes,
electrons flow from a battery through the
nanotube, jumping off its tip to the positive
electrode. A radio wave alternately
attracts and repels the nanotube tip,
causing it to vibrate in sync. When the tip is
farther from the electrode, fewer electrons
bridge the gap; the varying electrical signal
recovers the audio signal encoded by the
radio wave.
Door to other Applications
e.g Medical field
Nano transmitters could open the door to other
applications as well. For instance, Zettl suggests
that nanoradios attached to tiny chemical sensors
could be implanted in the blood vessels of patients
with diabetes or other diseases. If the sensors
detect an abnormal level of insulin or some other
target compound, the transmitter could then relay
the information to a detector, or perhaps even to
an implanted drug reservoir that could release
insulin or another therapeutic on cue.
Wireless Power
Wireless Power
Wireless power technology transmits electricity to devices
without the use of cables.
Any low-power device, such as a cell phone, iPod, or laptop,
could recharge automatically simply by coming within range
of a wireless power source, eliminating the need for multiple
cables—and perhaps, eventually, for batteries.
Eliminating the power cord would make today’s ubiquitous
portable electronics truly wireless. A number of researchers
and startups are making headway in this growing field.
