This innovative technological solution promises to create a clean and readily available energy source for low-power devices, entirely self-sufficient and not reliant on any external energy sources.report, this device may find applications in energizing items such as tiny medical implants and even small household gadgets in the future.Molecules are constantly in motion because they have thermal energy — even when they seem stationary to our eyes.

This device has two electrodes, one on top and one on the bottom, each having several 25-nanometer-wide strands of zinc oxide attached to it. Reportedly, zinc oxide was chosen as the material because of its ability to generate an electrical charge when mechanically deformed. The experiment results indicated that when the molecules in the liquid came into contact with the microscopic zinc oxide strands, they generated a small voltage of 2.28 millivolts and a current of 2.47 nanoamperes.
