Microchip Powered by Body Heat 73
An anonymous reader writes "MIT and Texas Instruments researchers have designed a chip that they say could be up to 10 times more energy efficient than current technology. The chip's power consumption is so low that devices with the chip may even be able to be recharged using the owner's body heat." The intent is to use these in medical applications like pacemakers where one would expect to have the free power source.

Wow, a dupe of the dupe... Grand-dupe? (Score:3, Informative)
This research has been covered at least twice on Slashdot recently:
Researchers Design Microchip Ten Times More Efficient [slashdot.org]
Low Voltage Is Key To Energy-Efficient Chip [slashdot.org]
Maybe those should be included as related articles in the summary, or something...
