Smart Watch And Its Charging
Battery
life is the real Achilles' heel of wearable tech right now, but it's a problem
that might have just found a solution. And the key component has been sitting
there since mankind began.
Researchers
at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology have created a small
flexible patch that converts body heat into electricity which could be used to
power a wearable device.
The
ability to generate power in this way is handy anyway, but the added
flexibility here means it would be perfect for smartwatches and fitness bands.
It's
unclear whether this could make charging redundant completely or just help
extent the battery life a bit - but we'll take anything right now.
