The atomic
vibration energy in graphene's crystal lattice differs depending on whether it's in contact with a cancer cell or a normal cell, Berry said, because the cancer cell's hyperactivity leads to a higher negative charge on its surface and the release of more protons.
When our bodies receive high
vibration energy from fresh natural foods, it assimilates this energy throughout our bodies, which in turn raises our vibrational frequency.
Incorporated directly into a cell phone housing, the team's nanogenerator could harvest and
convert vibration energy from a surface, such as the passenger seat of a moving vehicle, into power for the phone.
Rather than relying on a strain or an electrical field, the researchers incorporated zinc oxide nanoparticles into a PVDF thin film to trigger formation of the piezoelectric phase that enables it to
harvest vibration energy.
The change in
vibration energy can be pinpointed by Raman mapping with a resolution of 300 nanometers, he said, allowing characterization of the activity of a single cell.
«The electric field around the cell pushes away electrons in graphene's electron cloud,» he said, which changes
the vibration energy of the carbon atoms.
