This Tiny Wearable Device Could Soon Turn You Into A Battery

Over the past few years, we have seen a massive boom in the development of wearable technologies. Researchers and companies have come up with unique wearable devices. For instance, we saw Sony launch a wearable AC to beat the summer heat last year. And just recently, we saw a wearable that can inform an employer about his/ her employees’ moods and mental state. Now, researchers have come up with a tiny wearable device that can essentially turn a human body into a biological battery to juice up electronic devices.

“In the future, we want to be able to power your wearable electronics without having to include a battery,” said the senior author of the research paper, Jianliang Xiao.

Now, although it is in its very early stages, the team expects that their device would be commercially available in the market in the next 5-10 years. This way, we will not be needing any charging adapter or a wireless charger to juice up our electronic devices.
