An anonymous reader writes "ZDNet is reporting that Harvard scientists have developed a 'silicon nanowire' 200 hundred times thinner than a human hair that crank out up to 200 picowatts.

Charles Leiber from Harvard University, who devised the technology with colleagues, is quoted: "An individual nanoelectonic device will indeed consume very little power, but to do something interesting will require many interconnected devices and thus the power requirement — even for nanosystems — can be a challenge".

Conventional sources, he added, are "bulky, non-renewable and expensive" by comparison."
