An innovation turning waste material into stretchable devices may soon provide a new option for creating self-powered biomedical inventions. A team from Purdue University used lignin to create triboelectric nanogenerators. TENGs help conserve mechanical energy and turn it into power. Lignin is a waste byproduct from the pulp and paper industries, and it is one of the […]
