Researchers at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany have developed a method to generate electricity from body motion. Devices applied to shoes or wrists only produce small amounts right now, but may lead to a breakthrough for people living in cold climates.
Different research with a process called vapor deposition at UMass Amherst has resulted in gloves that conduct electricity and are powered by tiny batteries, keeping fingers warm for up to eight hours. The fabric that the team created can be sewn and woven like cotton.
