Researchers at the Beijing Institute of Nanoenergy and Nanosystems at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Theoretical Physics at Lanzhou University are proposing new ways to increase the power output from triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs). These devices convert ambient mechanical energy into electricity and could be used for powering wearable electronics, sensor networks and implantable medical devices to name but a few possible applications…..
