Dr. Zong Lin Wang

Georgia Tech materials scientist Zhong Lin Wang is researching the possibility that the turbulence of blood flowing through an implanted medical device might create enough “mechanical” stress on zinc oxide nanowires to generate enough electrical charge to power the device.  Further, he believes that a nanopiezoelectronics has potential for tiny devices that could scan for signs of diseases in blood.  See Video Interview of Dr Zhong Lin Wang, and    VIEW VIDEO
