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 […]
Building smart Energy Technology is our World’s best bet to suffice the increasing energy requirements without causing serious damage to our environment. The rapid increase in global temperature is scary enough to wake up the World leaders & thinkers to invest heavily in finding renewable sources of energy. Burning of fossil fuels - coal & […]
The scalability of any technology is critical for a variety of reasons – if a technology is scalable, it’s amenable to being ramped up quickly, it can easily handle increases in demand, and it’s able to resolve sudden shortages in supply. When it comes to energy, scalability is non-negotiable. Global economic growth is continuing apace, […]
Gone are the days when we can expect to sit in one location for eight hours’ stretch at a time, with easy and continued access to a variety of charging technologies which provide constant power for our most-used technologies. As companies increasingly favour collaboration over independent working, the average person during the day may find […]
The thermoelectric effect describes the direct conversion from thermal to electric energy and vise versa. This article provides a short history of thermoelectrics, from the discovery in the early 19th century, to the state of the art today and possible developments in the near future. The discovery of thermoelectrics Already in 1794, Italien physicist […]
