Energy Harvesting for Wearable Technology Steps Up

Cars That Think

Energy is something we take for granted, because we just plug things into the wall, and it feels as inevitable as air. The best-known wearable energy-harvesting tech today is, of course, solar, which pulls down electrons from sunlight or ambient light. But solar is just the opening gambit. Leveraging watch tech for…bisons?
