Yi Qi, a postdoctoral researcher at Princeton University, holds a piece of silicone rubber imprinted with super-thin material that generates electricity when flexed. The technology could provide a source of power for mobile and medical devices. “As we get better at making these chips,” says Qi, “we’ll be able to make larger and larger sheets of them that will harvest more energy.”(Credit: Frank Wojciechowski)
PRINCETON (US)—Power-generating rubber films could make it possible to harness natural body movements—such as breathing and walking—to power pacemakers, mobile phones, and other electronic devices. Continue…
