Hongjie Dai and his research lab at Stanford University have developed a prototype that can generate hydrogen fuel from seawater. Developing cheap electrocatalysts and electrodes that can sustain seawater splitting without chloride corrosion could address the water scarcity issue. Image credit: Courtesy of H. —Hongjie Dai.

Because generating heat is an inescapable part of our metabolic processes, researchers have been working to turn a lightbulb moment—the idea of harnessing body heat so all that thermal energy isn’t wasted—into a practical device that yields electric power. Our bodies slough off a ton of heat too.

But it’s a challenging thing to do, and we haven’t yet figured out ways to do it at scale that are cost-effective and sustaining, meaning you’ve taken the carbon dioxide out and it stays out reliably. And so the cost of that right now is really, really high. But right now we’ve got some distance to go with any of these ideas.
