Electricity from body movement: 280x more efficient device developed in South Korea
Korean researchers have developed a groundbreaking energy harvesting device that converts body movements into electricity.
This design, referred to as a “curvature-specific coupling electrode,” ensures efficient energy capture by preventing the cancellation of electrical charges generated during movement. “This design circumvents the typical cancellation of electrical output observed in conventional systems, ensuring that each segment of the nanogenerator effectively contributes to overall energy production,” added the researchers. Such devices could potentially eliminate the need for frequent battery charging or replacement in a wide range of applications, including smartwatches, fitness trackers, and medical sensors.
