Scientists at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) have developed a flexible crystal material that can convert body heat into electricity.The crystal material, known as AgCu(Te,Se,S), acts as a thermoelectric semiconductor and is made from silver, copper, tellurium, selenium, and sulfur.The researchers improved the material's performance by controlling atomic vacancies, making it more efficient, flexible, and durable.This breakthrough could lead to the development of wearable devices that can generate electricity from body heat, eliminating the need for batteries.
