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.

Except, probably, my ex. She'd have to to crawl up onto a rock and bask for a couple of hours before something like that would work for her.
