    Once its implementation is feasible and it can extract the waste energy efficiently, this innovation will enable new types of devices and uses that will be critical for commercial, scientific, medical and personal.

    Sounds like it’s still more theoretical than realized, at this point. Still, I can’t help thinking this would be really cool for something like a watch or hearing aids.

      Watches have been solved. You put a solar panel in the watch face. No need for anything more.

      Smart watches use too much energy to do any remote powering with at all, short of qi charging/other near-touching power distribution.
