Australian researchers have discovered a way to harness the energy we use when writing to power a laptop. Using piezoelectricity, this method works similarly to cigarette lighters to create a spark when it strikes a piezoelectric crystal.





To power a laptop, however, a much thinner film of piezoelectric material that has to be developed using nanotechnology. It's so thin, that can be covered in various electronic components and integrated into a variety of widgets.

The idea of ​​eternal battery is amazing. Scientists are also looking for ways to feed the touch screen devices with piezoelectric film, putting everything you swipe and energy to good use.
