n 2017, Purdue University researchers developed a way to use a person's body heat to power wearable electronics, such as exercise monitors and other internet of things (IoT) devices. The team's flexible thermoelectric generator incorporated semiconductor strings woven into a fabric. The generator could convert heat from any type of complex surface it touched into a small amount of electricity.

Just 10 days after a pneumonia-like illness was first reported among people who visited a seafood market in Wuhan, China, scientists released the genetic sequence of the coronavirus that sickened them. That precious bit of data, freely available to any researcher who wanted to study it, unleashed a massive collaborative effort to understand the mysterious new pathogen that has been rapidly spreading in China and beyond.

Wearable electronics and other Internet of Things (IoT) devices are rapidly growing in popularity, but their need for consistent power can place a high burden on users. One recently proposed solution is to generate electricity using heat from the human body, animals or other ambient sources, but typical emerging devices need to be up to an inch thick to harvest maximum results.
