UrduUniversity of Washington researchers have developed a flexible, durable electronic prototype that can harvest energy from body heat and turn it into electricity that can be used to power small electronics, such as batteries, sensors or LEDs. This device is also resilient — it still functions even after being pierced several times and then stretched 2,000 times.

Sandia successfully tests heat-powered system
Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories recently designed, built and lab-tested a device that can use the temperature difference caused by periodically pumping carbon dioxide down a borehole to charge batteries to someday power underground sensors.
Curious compound: Tin selenide may hold the key for thermoelectric solutions
Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory discovered that atomic-level structural changes occur when the compound tin selenide heats up — changes that help it to conduct electricity but not heat.
A flexible device that harvests thermal energy to power wearable electronics
University of Washington researchers have created the first-of-its kind flexible, wearable thermoelectric device that converts body heat to electricity.
