Imagine a world where your clothing generates electricity as you move—no batteries, no chargers, just energy from motion. Researchers have found that tiny beads rubbing together can efficiently produce electricity, opening doors for self-powered wearables and sustainable devices.
The key lies in choosing the right materials: melamine-formaldehyde beads, for instance, transfer charge more effectively. While this discovery paves the way for revolutionary applications, challenges remain in making the technology reliable and scalable. Scientists are now working to refine materials and processes to bring friction-powered energy solutions into everyday life.
