Americans Develop an Updated Version of the Triboelectric Nanogenerator (TENG)

August 28, 2024

Americans have developed an updated version of the triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG). It is capable of converting mechanical vibrations or everyday movements, such as walking and running, into electricity. The updated device significantly increases the output power compared to traditional nanogenerators by using 34 tiny energy collectors. These collectors, tuned using laser technology, play a key role in enhancing the efficiency of converting mechanical energy into electrical energy.
