Scientists have discovered a new method of harnessing energy that could help future troops harvest power from heat sources, even at night.
The Army-funded work by researchers at the University of Michigan resulted in a paper published recently in Nature Communications.
This method “opens the door” for new ways of gathering energy, first for military systems but eventually for all things electronic.
“The possibilities are endless,” Dr. Pani Varanasi, Army Research Laboratory program manager, told Army Times.
