The battery, developed by Zhong Lin Wang and colleagues at the Georgia Institute of Technology, converts the kinetic energy from motion into chemical energy, which can then be used to power any device.
However, Professors Lin Jiang and Marie Thursby from Georgia Tech and Justin Tan from York University discovered that there are some exceptions to this rule, and some incumbents do manage to be inventors during the stage of technological dirsruption.
Zhong Lin Wang, a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology, is tackling a new kind of power suit made from fabric that uses nanotechnology to generate energy as the body moves around.
