The technology behind this nanotechnology process is a little more advanced than my overall comprehension, so I hope I do not make a fool of myself trying to explain it for this blog article. Actually, CNN does a much better job of explaining how these MIT researchers discovered a novel way to create electricity.
It works like this: Researchers used tiny wires, known as carbon nanotubes, to create a powerful wave of energy, according to Michael Strano, and MIT associate professor of chemical engineering. He is also the senior author of a paper on this new phenomenon, published in this week's Nature Materials journal.
After coating these tiny wires with a layer of fuel, Strano said his team generated a so-called thermopower wave and stumbled across a reaction that may eventually be used to power electronics, computers and cell phones.
