New Self-Charging Power Unit Made Out of Cut Paper
Researchers Zhong Lin Wang and Chenguo Hu wanted to come up with a new, wireless way for portable electronic devices to charge. Currently, the only way to get a full charge on a hearing aid, heart monitor, etc. is to plug them into the wall. But Wang and Hu thought, what if they could take the energy that a person expels every day and put that energy back into the device.
