Making electricity from sweat the key to next wearable tech?

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, wearables

Imagine a world where the smart watch on your wrist never ran out of charge, because it used your sweat to power itself.

They can harvest energy in evaporation and convert it to electricity which could revolutionise wearable electronic devices from personal medical sensors to electronics.
