Theye developed a superthin device that can be attached to an organ to generate electricity from its movements.
The tiny device is already within the range of generating enough electricity to power a pacemaker on its own,
it generates electrical energy from the movement. Because organ movements occur as pulses, the team had to include energy storage in their creation
so that electricity could be delivered continually. They accomplished this by building in a tiny chip-scale
The team found through testing that their system could deliver 0. 2 microwatts per square centimeter of stable electricity over 20 million cycles.
Their system converts mechanical to electrical energy at about two percent efficiency, a number that Rogers says is need based on the not to interfere with the target organ natural operation.

Researchers have spent decades seeking ways to harness some of this wasted energy. Most such efforts have focused on thermoelectric devicesâ##solid-state materials that can produce electricity from a temperature gradientâ
##but the efficiency of such devices is limited by the availability of materials. Now researchers have found a new alternative for low-temperature waste-heat conversion into electricityâ##that is in cases where temperature differences are less than 100 degrees Celsius.
When the battery has cooled it actually delivers more electricity than was used to charge it. That extra energy doesn t appear from nowhere explains Cui.

CNTS are long chains of carbon atoms that are extremely efficient at conducting and controlling electricity.
Depending on how the CNTS grow a fraction of these carbon nanotubes can end up behaving like metallic wires that always conduct electricity instead of acting like semiconductors that can be switched off.
Then they pumped the semiconductor circuit full of electricity. All of that electricity concentrated in the metallic nanotubes
which grew so hot that they burned up and literally vaporized into tiny puffs of carbon dioxide.
