Engineers develop innovative battery technology that could change the future of remote devices: ‘An integrated device that could harvest ambient thermal energy’
With simple increases and decreases in temperature, the new battery can generate enough charge for practical applications in many industries. Researchers at the University of Utah’s College of Engineering have discovered a promising new solution to power wireless devices used to monitor automobiles, industrial machinery, and agricultural products. An innovative battery called the pyroelectrochemical cell has the potential to fuel system sensors that are notoriously difficult to keep charged,
