Chinese scientists have created a new material that allows the extraction of electrical energy from the heat emitted by the human body. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
This innovation is expected to further expand the capabilities of the human body. The elastic material called "thermoelectric rubber," developed by specialists, is made based on a semiconductor polymer and rubber, and can convert body temperature into electrical power.
This technology could cause significant changes in everyday life in the near future. For example, it will be possible to charge smartwatches or earphones without a special socket, using only body heat.
Additionally, it can be used to power phones and other gadgets in places where there is no electrical grid. Scientists plan to integrate this material into "smart clothing" in the future.
Such clothing will not only power gadgets but also help regulate human body temperature. The material can be equipped with various sensors that can be used to measure pressure, detect chemical compositions, and monitor the breathing process.
These sensors are expected to be useful in healthcare, particularly in detecting viruses and diagnosing lung cancer. Chinese researchers also announced that smart masks will be produced based on this material in the near future.
These masks will monitor the respiratory system and help detect various diseases at an early stage. At the same time, "thermoelectric rubber" is expected to bring a new perspective to energy sources and create new opportunities in healthcare.
This discovery will serve to make human life more comfortable and efficient.
