Scientists are looking for alternative energy sources. For small appliances, American researchers are busy working on nanotechnology in the form of fabric that generates its own electricity. Just by moving around, enough energy is produced to power devices. One of the current hurdles is that the technology degrades if it becomes wet. A solution, e.g. a coating, is needed as possible users of the technology could be hikers and soldiers in the field.
