National Conference on Energy, Materials and Communication Systems was held to discuss energy harvesting using nanotechnology. Dharmendra Dubey, Lakhan Singh, and Suraj Kumar from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Bhagwant University in Ajmer presented on this topic. Nanotechnology can be used to create new materials and devices that can harvest energy from sources like human movement using piezoelectric materials. Piezoelectrics convert pressure into electrical energy and could potentially power devices through activities like typing on a laptop or the vibrations from blood pressure in pacemakers, creating an endless battery. While the concept has been demonstrated, actual mass production of these piezoelectric nanostructures remains challenging. The study focused on thin film coat

Abstract
Nanotechnology, a diversified field of science which deals with surface science, organic
chemistry, molecular biology, semiconductor physics and micro-fabrication etc. The associated
research and applications are equally diverse, ranging from extensions of conventional physics to
completely new approaches based upon developing new materials with new dimensions on
nanoscale. It has also excelled in the area of harvesting energy in form of piezoelectrics -
materials capable of converting pressure into electrical energy - and the cornerstone of microchip
manufacturing, thin film technology. Scientists currently debate the future implications of
nanotechnology. Nanotechnology may be able to create many new materials and devices with a
vast range of applications, such as in medicine, electronics, biomaterials and energy production.
The study examines how the power of piezoelectrics could be integrated as a storage to charge
mobile phones, enable laptops to be powered through typing or even used to convert blood
pressure into a power source for pacemakers - essentially creating an everlasting battery. The
theory of Nanotechnology given by a few philosophers say that the concept of energy harvesting
using piezoelectric nano materials has been demonstrated but the actual realization of these
structures can be too complicated and they are poorly suited to mass fabrication. Our study
focused on thin film coatings because we believe they hold the only practical possibility of
integrating piezoelectrics into existing electronic technology.
