In the search for alternative methods to solve the charging issue, scientists have developed an intriguing solution. Researchers at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore have discovered a way to turn our clothing into a power source. In a study involving a 3×4 cm fabric sample, energy was generated through a polymer capable of converting mechanical stress (from compression or stretching) into electricity, powering up to 100 LEDs.
This innovation allows you to charge your devices by simply wearing the fabric and utilizing the energy generated from the movement of your body or the friction between your skin and clothing. Whether at work, at home, or on the go, this fabric can convert the energy produced by your body into electrical power to charge devices like smartphones. The fabric has been tested to be durable for up to five months of use, thanks to its incredibly tough, waterproof, rubber-like properties.
