Osaka, Japan – Walking can boost not only your own energy but also, potentially, the energy of your wearable electronic devices. Osaka Metropolitan University scientists made a significant advance ...

There is a lot of mechanical energy in human activities, but human activities are low frequency and irregular. Obviously, the traditional electromagnetic power generation mode cannot efficiently ...

The number of ways to harvest energy that would otherwise go unused and wasted is extraordinary. To cite a few of the many examples, there’s the heat given off during almost any physical or electronic ...

Modern devices, from fitness trackers and smart garments to Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, require compact and sustainable power sources. In new research published in Scientific Reports, scientists ...

Energy harvesting technology collects and transforms waste energy like heat, vibration, light, and electromagnetic waves from everyday settings like buildings, automobiles, and home appliances.

(Nanowerk News) Metamaterials are artificially engineered composite materials derive their properties from internal micro- and nanostructures, rather than the chemical composition found in natural ...

Using a more complex resonator as a dynamic magnifier, the efficiency of a MEMS-based energy harvester undergoing random impulse stimulation is greatly improved. The limitations of basic piezo-based ...
