Researchers at DGIST in South Korea have developed a highly efficient energy harvester that converts body movements into electrical energy, achieving 280 times higher efficiency than traditional devices. 

 

The device uses the piezoelectric effect, where materials generate an electrical charge in response to mechanical stress, enabling energy capture from movements like walking and bending. 

 

This new tech promises a new method for sustainable energy generation, harnessing the power of everyday body motions to produce electricity.
