Ultralow Power Transistor Shows Promise for New Wearable Electronics

Engineers at the University of Cambridge have developed a new, ultralow power transistor that operates by scavenging energy from their environment. This latest transistor could pave the way for new electronic applications such as implantable or wearable devices that can function continuously, for months or even years, without a battery by drawing energy from their environment. Devices based on this transistor can significantly reduce the amount of power used.
