Intel research uses nano-technology to produce self-powered electricity

Imagine coming up with a way to power an iPod by converting the energy from walking or jogging into electricity. That's the idea behind new nano-technology research funded by the U.S. intelligence community that could potentially turn spies into self-powered electricity machines. Professor Michael McAlpine of Princeton University -- who won funding as part of the Intelligence Community Post-Doctoral Fellowship program -- is leading the effort.
