New crystal material could power wearable tech using body heat

  • 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.
