Abstract: Simple fabricating methods of nanostructures are required for solving many kinds of problems in the field of electronic engineering. The fabrication of novel and functional nanostructures is a promising way toward innovations: low power consuming devices, sensors with higher sensitivity, selectivity, as well as other novel functions. However, various researches are limited in costly, complex and time-consuming methods. We demonstrated a simple way to obtain nanogap electrodes using ordinary photolithographic techniques and electromigration, and its application as chemoresistive gas sensor based on gold nano-particles (AuNPs)-bridging.

Abstract: Recent advances in energy harvesting have been intensified due to urgent need of portable, wireless electronics with extensive life span. The idea of energy harvesting is applicable to sensors that are placed and operated on some entities for a long time, or embedded into structures or human bodies, in which it is troublesome to replace the sensor module batteries. Such sensors are commonly called “self-powered sensors.”The idea of energy harvesting is applicable to sensors that are placed and operated on some entities for a long time, or embedded into structures or human bodies, in which it is troublesome or detrimental to replace the sensor module batteries. Such sensors are commonly called” self-powered sensors.”The energy harvester devices are capable ofcapturing environmental energy and supplanting the battery in a stand-alone module, or working along with the battery to extend substantially its life. Vibration is considered one of the most high power and efficient among other amb
