MICROCHIPS THAT RUN ON BODYHEATToday's microchips, while tiny, still use a fair ammount of power. This means that batteries have to be large and don't usually last very long. But what if microchips were just a little bit more efficient? That's what a team of engineers at MIT was thinking when they set out to redesign the microchip to make it even more efficient. The result is a microchip with a power consumption that is so low it can be recharged by your very own body heat.1
