Energy autonomy is key to the next generation portable and wearable systems for several
applications. Among these, the electronic-skin or e-skin is currently a matter of intensive …

The next generation of electronics technology is purely going to be based on wearable
sensing systems. Wearable electronic sensors that can operate in a continuous and …

This paper describes the design of miniature generators capable of converting ambient
vibration energy into electrical energy for use in powering intelligent sensor systems. Such a …

Historically, batteries have been the source of energy for most mobile, embedded and
remote system applications. Now, with ubiquitous computing requirements in the fields of …

We demonstrate the first self-powered system driven by a nanogenerator (NG) that works
wirelessly and independently for long-distance data transmission. The NG was made of a …

A new class of vibration energy harvester based on magnetostrictive material (MsM),
Metglas 2605SC, is designed, developed and tested. It contains two submodules: an MsM …

This paper reviews the development of energy harvesting for low-power embedded
structural health monitoring (SHM) sensing systems. A statistical pattern recognition …

A nanogenerator is integrated onto a tire's inner surface and scavenges mechanical energy
from deformation of the tire during its motion. A liquid crystal display (LCD) screen is lit …

Gram-negative bacteria (Gnb) such as sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), as the main culprits
of microbiological induced corrosion (MIC) in marine environment, cause severe problems …

Looking toward world technology trends over the next few decades, self-powered sensing
networks are a key field of technological and economic driver for global industries. Since …
