FAYETTEVILLE, Ark., Oct. 23 -- The University of Arkansas issued the following news release:
Researchers at the U of A and the University of Michigan have reported the creation of a graphene-based energy harvester that uses ambient radiation to run ultra-low-power temperature sensors. This is the second sensor created by the team whose overall goal is development of autonomous sensor systems that draw power from multiple sources in the environment - solar, thermal, acoustic, kinetic, nonlinear and ambient radiation.
The team previously reported successful development of graphene-based solar cells that can be used to power temperature sensors.
The team has three requirements for these sensors: they must use locally harvested energy, they ...
