A wafer-thin battery is in development that may be ideal to power smart contact lenses in the future. And it has an unusual way of being recharged.
If only I hadn't opted for the apathy and ennui depression I would have these. I guess I'll just stick to glasses.
We can make unlimited green power by putting these in orphans eyes and poking them with sharp sticks. Who want to invest?
And we can market it as a more humane alternative to the orphan crushing machine. Pure genius.

It's finally time to introduce my CathartoMAX video player that only shows Coco, Moonlight, the beginning of Up, the Leaves From A Vine scene from ATLA, and other things that will make the user cry.
If they can find a way to offload the excess energy to my house, I’ll never pay for electricity again!
Now the bro-dozer crowd can drive a truck that is literally powered by the tears of "liberals" and reduce emissions at the same time. It's a win-win.
in the future: you'll see people crying in public and you'll assume that they're just recharging their batteries. lol
This headline is a roller coaster.
"In what possible application is that concept not a horrifying 'torment nexus' level of oh okay that makes sense."
How much power does it provide? This doesn't sound like a high-energy reaction.
Second question, if it's actually enough to be useful, which I doubt: How long does it last?
This reads like a nothingburger right now. Science journalists have a way of taking academically-interesting projects and omitting all the catches so they seem commercially relevant.
