“Scientists first reported the invention of twistrons about five years ago. They created these materials by spinning carbon nanotubes into high-strength, lightweight fibers that can also incorporate electrolytes. Twisting or stretching these yarns increases their density, which in turn generates a voltage that can drive an electric current.
“Our dream in the future is to be able to use our twistrons to harvest the mechanical energy in the oceans to power cities,” says study senior author Ray Baughman, a materials scientist at the University of Texas at Dallas.”
