Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid advances in wireless sensors, implantable electronics, and wearable devices, the demand for power sources with a high power density and a long lifespan is becoming increasingly greater. Energy harvesting, emerging as an alternative energy solution to batteries, holds great potential to achieve self-powered autonomous operations of such low-power electronic devices and thus has recently attracted much attention from both academia and industry. This Special Issue will focus on this new technology and report on new academic endeavors.
