Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new chip that has the exciting possibility of generating energy from three separate sources; solar, heat, and motion, all at the same time. This ability makes the chip very efficient, and a great alternative to simple batteries.Anantha Chandrakasan, the MIT professor in charge of the research, said that, “today there are devices to scavenge energy from solar or vibration. This can replace them to provide more power by combining several sources.”The chip generates…Read more...http://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Multi-Source-Energy-Generation-Chip-to-Replace-Batteries.html
