In ten years there won't be any wearables without energy harvesting. Here’s why. Electronic wearables have changed our lives and will ever more do so in the near future. Carrying technology on our bodies started in greater scale with the introduction of wearables. This innovation started the race, which since then led to countless applications […]

All IoT devices require an energy supply, yet, hardwired connections to the energy grid are impractical or even impossible for most intended use cases. Batteries are the current gold standard in supplying IoT devices and wearables with energy, but tie the user to the grid for recharging. Energy harvesting from environmental sources could extend the […]

Wearable devices are growing to a tremendous pace. The forecast is promising for the near future and commercial products are covering a wide range of applications. Moreover, many start-ups are growing in more niche application with success. However, one of many issues of wearable devices is still the energy availability that limits the lifetime and […]
