University of Texas at Dallas: New Carbon Nanotube Yarn Harvests Mechanical Energy
University of Texas at Dallas: New Carbon Nanotube Yarn Harvests Mechanical Energy. “Nanotechnology researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas have made novel carbon nanotube yarns that convert mechanical movement into electricity more effectively than other material-based energy harvesters… UT Dallas researchers and their collaborators describe improvements to high-tech yarns they invented called ‘twistrons,’ which generate electricity when stretched or twisted.”
