Zinc oxide materials tapped for tiny energy harvesting devices

Posted: 13 Jan 2015 09:09 AM PST

Today, we're surrounded by a variety of electronic devices that are moving increasingly closer to us -- we can attach and wear them, or even implant electronics inside our bodies. Many types of smart devices are readily available and convenient to use. The goal now is to make wearable electronics that are flexible, sustainable and powered by ambient renewable energy.
