Scientists Generate Electricity from Thin Air

A Technology has been developed to generate electricity from thin air, without the need for external power sources

It uses principle of using the naturally occurring electrical charge present in the atmosphere.

Thin film made of protein nanowires, used for this Experiment

For now it can power small electronic devices, such as environmental sensors or wearable devices
