Takeaways:
- A group of Japanese scientist have tested a biofuel cell which could generate electric power from lactate chemicals in the wearer’s sweat.
- This would mean that wearable technologies would be powered by sweat and would no longer rely on batteries and would help make the industry more sustainable.
- “We managed to drive a commercially available activity meter for 1.5 hours using one drop of artificial sweat and our biofuel cells,” explains study leader Professor Isao Dr. Shitanda. […].
