Thermoelectric systems are based on technology that leverages differences in temperature to generate electricity, and we’ve seen how this approach can be applied to the world’s tiniest refrigerator, cooking pots that power smartphones and even thermoelectric paint. A new example from scientists at the University of Colorado (UC) explores the everyday potential of this technology, demonstrated as a ring that harvests energy from the human body and can even repair itself when damaged.
This is a companion discussion for the article “Thermoelectric ring generates power from body heat and repairs itself - https://newatlas.com/wearables/thermoelectric-ring-generates-power-self-repair/” submitted on the community's news feed.
