Shake, Rattle, and Power On: Electricity from Vibrations Researchers in Japan have applied a lead-free film directly on silicon to convert everyday vibrations into electricity, pointing to a more practical—and less toxic—future for self-powered electronics.

This tech, #piezoelectrics, has been around, but the advance is eliminating the need for lead (Pb).

Now this "energy from vibration" tech can be more widespread.
