Wireless light energy harvesting and communication in a waterproof GaN optoelectronic system. The rapid development of wearable/implantable optoelectronics for aquatic animals is accompanied by a demand for studying underwater power transfer and communication1,2,3,4. Although batteries can provide reliable and high power intensity, the disadvantages of their size, weight and replacement restrict their further application in wearable, miniaturized optoelectronic systems in underwater environments.

Natural strategies for photosynthetic light harvesting. Photosynthetic organisms are crucial for life on Earth as they provide food and oxygen and are at the basis of most energy resources. They have a large variety of light-harvesting strategies that allow them to live nearly everywhere where sunlight can penetrate. They have adapted their pigmentation to the spectral composition of light in their habitat, they acclimate to slowly varying light intensities and they rapidly respond to fast changes in light quality and quantity.

Core and rod structures of a thermophilic cyanobacterial light-harvesting phycobilisome. Cyanobacteria, glaucophytes, and rhodophytes utilize a large water-soluble, light-harvesting complex called phycobilisome (PBS) for solar energy absorption and energy transfer to photosynthetic membrane proteins (photosystem I and photosystem II; PSI and PSII)1. PBSs absorb mainly visible light at 490–650 nm, which PSI and PSII have difficulty absorbing (as an exception, cyanobacteria containing chlorophyll f harbor PBSs that absorb near-infrared light2,3) (Supplementary Fig. 1). PBS is composed of phycobiliproteins (PBPs) such as phycoerythrin, phycoerythrocyanin, phycocyanin (PC), and allophycocyanin (APC). Read more…
Energy harvesting to power the Internet of Things. The wireless interconnection of everyday objects known as the Internet of Things depends on wireless sensor networks that need a low but constant supply of electrical energy. This can be provided by electromagnetic energy harvesters that generate electricity directly from the environment. Lise-Marie Lacroix from the Université de Toulouse, France, with colleagues from Toulouse, Grenoble and Atlanta, Georgia, USA, has used a mathematical technique, finite element simulation, to optimise the design of one such energy harvester so that it generates electricity as efficiently as possible.

Wireless Power & Energy Harvesting 2022
Wireless Power has been an intriguing topic for years now. Most think of this area of technology as research or some far reaching science project that may become available in the future. But the reality is that Wireless Technology is here, today, and given the vast number of sensors, devices, and application areas, our panelists will highlight key applications in the area of Wireless Power & Energy Harvesting. The WCA is pleased to present a group of experts from companies who are delivering products and pushing the envelope for innovation in Wireless Power. We look forward to a lively discussion and hope you will join us.
Nowi Energy Autonomous Smart-wearable Shoe
Using piezoelectric harvesting for a smart shoe application is one of the energy harvesting projects under development at Nowi using Nowi NH2 PMIC. In this Part 2 video, Kerim and Ehsan, application engineers at Nowi, provide an update on the project, show the new prototype and demonstrate different types of piezoelectric harvesters.
