Imagine your life was at risk if the battery of your cell phone ran out. Sounds ridiculous, right? In fact, there are millions of people who are at high risk if the battery of the devices implanted in their bodies (cardiac pacemakers) were to run out. A new solution is now offered by harvesting the patient's body energy and storing it in a novel energy storage device thinner than the human hair called biosupercapacitors which may last for the patient's lifetime.
Islam Mosa is thankful to the four research groups from UCONN and UCLA led by Prof. James Rusling who made this invention possible. Islam Mosa is a senior Ph.D. student at the University of Connecticut, USA. He is most passionate about working at the interface between chemistry, biology, and electronics to create novel solutions to pressing health problems. He created biodevices ranging from cancer diagnostics to new power sources for cardiac pacemakers. His work has been featured in world news media such as Fox News, Yahoo News, and Digital trends, and has been recognized with 8 local, national and international awards. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
