MicroFluidics : Novel Chip for Monitoring Breast Cancer
[U. of Toronto/ Aaron Wheeler]
A new microfluidic chip that uses electrical signals to move droplets of fluids can detect estrogen levels in breast cancer patients ... [REF]

Wireless Energy Transfer : Invisible power
[WiTricity/Prof. Soljačić]
An experiment has been set to prove that two 'resonating' magnetic fields could transfer an electric current. Now Witrucuty would like to prove that these magnetic coils could power almost any electrical device... [REF]

Sensor Network : Wireless Sensing in High Alpine Environment
[ETHZ / Prof. Thiele], also involved in X-Sense, a new Nano-Tera project
The project PermaSense aims at developing and demonstrating a flexible, distributed wireless sensor network (WSN) adapted to geophysical sensors... [REF]

Carbon Nanotubes : Carbon nanotube dye may put a capacitor in your shorts
[Stanford / Prof. Cui]
Would you like your phone to start charging whenever you dropped it into your pocket? That may eventually be possible, thanks to a carbon nanotube-based ink... [REF]

Energy Harvesting : Thermoelectric Generators in Flexible and Low Cost Thermoelectric Devices
[GreenTeg / Dr. Wulf Glatz], * technology developed in Prof Hierold Labs, also involved in Nano-Tera project CabTuRes
A prototype of a thermoelectric generator (TEG), which allows direct conversion of waste heat into electric power, was recently developed... [REF]
