Iranian discovers nanoscale energy source
 Fars Foundation News Agency: Associate Professor Kourosh Kalantar-Zadeh (L) and Professor Michael Strano have discovered a new power source through nanotechnology.

Iranian researcher Kourosh Kalantar-Zadeh has discovered a new power source for energy storage and power generation.
Associate Professor Kalantar-Zadeh, from the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at RMIT University in Melbourne, and MIT Associate Professor Michael Strano’s nanotechnology research team made the breakthrough in a joint project.
While they were measuring the acceleration of a chemical reaction along a carbon nanotube, they made the remarkable discovery. The reaction they were monitoring generated power.
The initial results of their discovery were published in the December issue of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Spectrum Magazine, in an article entitled “Nanodynamite: Fuel-coated nanotubes could provide bursts of power to the smallest systems.”
