    Self-Powered Biosensors May Open Up New Paths to Medical Tracking, Treatments

    Advances in materials and electronic design may be able to convert biomechanical energy into electric energy, according to a team of researchers.

    Self-Powered Biosensors May Open Up New Paths to Medical Tracking, Treatments
    An international team of researchers led by Penn State engineers are exploring the development of stretchable self-powered biosensors that could one day lead to wearable devices that do not need to be recharged, or even sensors that are powered by the very bodily process they are designed to monitor.

    Wearable and implantable devices are currently used for a variety of functions, including health tracking and monitoring.    However, supplying energy usually requires cumbersome batteries and downtime due to recharging.    Now, an international team of researchers suggests that advances in materials and electronic design may be able to convert biomechanical energy into electric energy, paving the way for devices that can be worn and implanted but do not require constant recharging, according to Larry Cheng, Dorothy Quiggle Career Development professor in the Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics and an affiliate of the Institute for Computational and Data Sciences.   "In this particular review, we are looking at possible energy supply without the need for batteries and other components, so it's of particular interest to create these energy harvesters for self-powered devices or ones that could also be used t
