Imagine a future where smartphones and tablets have awesome battery life without the addition of a larger, and bulkier battery. Well, it looks like we're moving one step towards that dream. The researchers at Georgia Tech recently revealed a triboelectric generator that creates energy when specific plastic materials rub against one another. While I won't go into the technical details (you can check out GT's website for them), this technology can be implemented into touchscreens since there are transparent plastics that can be used to create triboelectric generators.
