Nanotechnology could help harvest the energy of human movements to power medical implants, new research published in the journal Science has shown. Scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta have worked out how to use nanofibres to transform vibrations from movement into electric current. In the long term, they hope to put the nanofibres in shoes to generate electricity from walking.
