How Does Nanotechnology Enable Low Power Applications?
Nanotechnology enables low power applications through several mechanisms:
Enhanced Material Properties: Nanomaterials exhibit unique electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties that can be precisely tailored to reduce power consumption. Efficient Energy Harvesting: Nanoscale devices can harvest energy from ambient sources, such as light, heat, and motion. For instance, nanogenerators convert mechanical energy into electrical energy efficiently. Advanced Transistors: Nanoscale transistors, such as carbon nanotube transistors and tunneling field-effect transistors (TFETs), offer lower power consumption compared to traditional silicon-based transistors.
