The article from Live Science discusses a potential future technology where wearable devices could harness power from ambient 6G cellphone signals through the human body. Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have developed a method where the body acts as an antenna, capturing energy from these signals. This innovative approach involves using the body's conductivity to guide the radio frequency (RF) signals, allowing for energy harvesting without the need for bulky batteries. The technology could lead to smaller, more efficient wearables like smartwatches or health monitors, which would not require charging, thereby enhancing their practicality and reducing environmental impact. The study, published in the journal *Microwave and Optical Technology Letters*, suggests that this method could be particularly effective with the higher frequencies of 6G networks, which are expected to offer greater bandwidth and efficiency compared to current 5G technology.
