Researchers develop wearable device that harvests energy from 6G signals using the human body

Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have developed a method to harvest energy from 6G wireless signals using the human body. This breakthrough allows small copper coils to collect waste radio frequency energy emitted by visible light communication. The new device, called "Bracelet+," can be worn on the arm and is designed to power low-energy wearable devices, such as health sensors. The bracelet's efficiency increases significantly when in contact with skin, making it a potential solution for the battery life issues of current wearables. While this technology shows promise, it depends on the future deployment of 6G networks, which are still in development. The concept could transform the human body into a power source for next-generation devices.
