1 week agoScientists Develop Elastic Thermoelectric Rubber to Power Wearables Without Batteries
According to the study published in the Nature journal, the team of researchers analysed how thermoelectricity, the movement of electrons from hot to cooler regions, can be harnessed using their elastic polymer composite. They reported that the material can stretch to 150 percent of its initial length and withstand strains of more than 850percent. The fact that it remains stretched under stress means it remains in close contact with the skin, and that makes power generation more efficient, the researchers said.
