A new nanotechnology development by an international
research team led by Tel Aviv University researchers will make it
possible to generate electric currents and voltage within the human
body through the activation of various organs (mechanical force).
The researchers explain that the development involves a new and
very strong biological material, similar to collagen, which is
non-toxic and causes no harm to the body’s tissues. The researchers
believe that this new nanotechnology has many potential
applications in medicine, including harvesting clean energy to
operate devices implanted in the body (such as pacemakers) through
the body’s natural movements, eliminating the need for
batteries.

production inside the human body
