Clothing is the new electrical insulator as deemed by academic researchers. 
Investigators from Wake Forest’s Center for Nanotechnology and Molecular Materials manufactured a clothlike material that generates electricity using body heat. Generators that produce electricity using heat are inefficient. However, heat itself is almost everywhere and is generated by almost everything, even the human body. Because it is a very common energy source and doesn’t cost much, such as leftover heat produced by engines, solar energy, or wind energy, then even if heat is not efficient, it will be practical. This new technology can be used to charge MP3 players, cell phones, and power medical monitoring equipment. It might even power electronic implants too, but only if the body’s immune system doesn’t negatively react to it. This is a technological innovation that may drive electrical output in a new direction.
