  2. How can something as small as a lemon have enough power to do anything?

  3. The same question can be asked of nano scale batteries. (Credit: A. James Clark School of Engineering, University of Maryland) However, nano batteries are showing efficiencies up to 10 times more than any current battery. The idea is that if one nano sized battery does not make enough power, trillions of nano batteries in arrays and in series will. After all, a battery is merely made of two metals and an electrolyte

  4. Multi wall carbon nanotube Several nano materials and techniques are being used in nano battery research.

  6. This module is one of a series designed to introduce faculty and high school students to the basic concepts of nanotechnology. Each module includes a PowerPoint presentation, discussion questions, and hands-on activities, when applicable.The series was funded in part by:The National Science FoundationGrant DUE-0702976and the Oklahoma Nanotechnology Education InitiativeAny opinions, findings and conclusions or recommendations expressed in the material are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation or the Oklahoma Nanotechnology Education Initiative.
