NEW SOURCE OF ENORMOUS ENERGY!!
A new research conducted by scientists at the University of Limerick(UL) says that old plant material may become a new source of electricity.
According to the team,glycine-an amino acid classified as a plezoelectric material,or we can say them as a material which produces electricity when mechanically stressed can be used to generate electricity when squeezed or tapped.The team of researcher said that the power generated by glycine will be enough to power electronics like smartphones,motion detectors, and wireless controllers for video game consoles.
Sarah Guerin,a lead author and researcher at UL,s Bernal institute said that "It is really exciting that such a tiny molecule can generate so much electricity."she said that they discovered about this through a computer model which is used to predict the electrical response of different models.
"The glycine number was off the charts,We then grew long narrow crystals of glycine in alcohol and we produced electricity just by tapping them."
Glycine is easily available in every agricultural and forest residue.Additionally glycine doesn,t contain lead or lithium,two elements that are toxic to humans.
