When we watch combat movie, sometime we noticed that the solder in the movie wear a "power shirt" which able to generate electricity to power small electronic devices for soldiers in the field. Now this no long a story. But it is true story...Again this one of the break-through in nano technology ...

Zhong Lin Wang, a Regents professor in the School of Materials Science and Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology stated that pairs of textile fibers covered with zinc oxide nanowires can generate electrical current using the piezoelectric effect. Combining current flow from many fiber pairs woven into a shirt or jacket could allow the wearer’s body movement to power a range of portable electronic devices. The fibers could also be woven into curtains, tents or other structures to capture energy from wind motion, sound vibration or other mechanical energy. Read more here...
