Fortunately, though, at wearables’ modest power budgets, energy is effectively everywhere. But we do actually need that energy to be generated,” says Alper Bozkurt, who with Veena Misra codirects the Center for Advanced Self-Powered Systems of Integrated Sensors and Technologies (ASSIST) at North Carolina State University.

According to Chinese authorities, the ones on Changbiao are civilian power reactors, designed to generate 600 megawatts of electricity each, which amounts to a little more than 1 percent of the total capacity of China’s nuclear power sector. They are called breeder reactors because they produce more nuclear fuel than they consume.

The area, said to be the driest region on earth, has long been a premier source of sodium nitrate, or saltpeter. A little sun, plus some oxygen and water, is enough to keep a plant going strong.
