There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Free download! A new electronic book published by Prof. Z.L. Wang entitled of “Nanogenerators for self-powered devices and systems”
Prof. Zhong Lin WangEver since we demonstrated the first nanogenerators using piezoelectric nanowires for converting mechanical energy into electricity (Wang & Song, Science, 312, 242-246 (2006)), a great interest has been excited worldwide for developing various approaches for energy harvesting. A key idea presented in the 2006 paper is the self-powered nanotechnology, aiming at powering nanodevices/nanosystems using the energy harvested from the environment in which the systems are suppose to operate. We have published a series of papers during a period of 6 years covering the basic theory, mechanism, engineering scale up and potential applications of nanogenerators (see Appendix). To provide a comprehensive and coherent review about the development of nanogenerators, I have organized this book based on our published papers. The readers are encouraged to referring to the original papers for details and citations.
