MIT's thermal resonator generates power "out of what seems like nothing"

A brand new power-generating system from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers creates energy "out of what seems like nothing," according to chemical engineering professor Michael Strano. Their system, which they're calling a thermal resonator, harnesses daily swings in ambient temperature. Their thermal resonator could enable remote sensing systems to last for years — no batteries or other power source required.
