Step aside, Tesla.
Scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have developed a device that can generate electricity from moisture in the air.
(They claim it even works in deserts).
It doesn't generate a lot of electricity, but it can "power small electronics." And it's basically a film of protein.
This may be the most promising lead yet for a cellphone that you never have to charge. It could also allow for further miniaturization of wearables by replacing batteries.
And it's biological. You literally grow it. (Because nature comes up with everything).
I want the cellphone that doesn't need to be charged, dang it.
