Energy Harvesting for Wearable Technology Steps Up

Cars That Think

For capacitors, voltage translates to electrons stored —the voltage drop across a capacitor is proportional to its total charge.) A team including researchers from Japan’s Tohoku University recently developed a durable, efficient energy harvester that combines piezoelectric composites with carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP).
