Embroidery as low-cost solution for wearable electronics

Control Engineering

The researchers relied on a method of generating electricity called the “triboelectric effect,” which involves harnessing electrons exchanged by two different materials, like static electricity. This is a low-cost method for making wearable electronics using commercially available products,” Yin said.
