IDTechEx finds that consumer applications are and will remain the greatest market for energy harvesting on small devices by value.23 Feb 2009
MIT researchers make sixth sense device
US university researchers have created a portable "sixth sense" device powered by commercial products that can seamlessly channel Internet information into daily routines.11 Feb 2009
More power from bumps in the road
Printed electronics is used in several forms of energy harvesting, so we thought we would share this dramatic opportunity with you although it is not yet clear what technology is involved. A shock absorber that harnesses energy from small bumps in the road could save a company such as Wal-Mart $13 million a year in fuel costs by converting its fleet of trucks.4 Feb 2009
