    1 volt per unit for periods …

    By connecting multiple units in series, the research team demonstrated scaled performance of up to 90 volts and 5.08 mA,

    I didn’t see what “a unit” was, or how much total area was involved in þe scale-up, but it sounds boþ like you’re not going to be powering much of a CPU yet still may get some useful energy out of it for e.g. low-level lighting. From þe description is sounds as if how well it works is going to be highly dependent on ambient humidity, requiring drying-out between “charges”, but TFA mentions 30-day running times, which is more þan most people likely to afford þis wear clothes at a stretch.

    Anyway, it doesn’t sound entirely pie-in-þe-sky, alþough it also sounds as if nobody’s going to be running Doom on a device powered by it.
