  • Not exactly sure what this means - but it seems to mean that we could theoretically create immortal low-power batteries out of graphene. They can harness the energy, but it's not clear whether the energy "runs out" or at what point (although title says "limitless").
  • "A circuit capable of capturing graphene's thermal motion and converting it into an electrical current."
  • "A theory that freestanding graphene—a single layer of carbon atoms—ripples and buckles in a way that holds promise for energy harvesting."
  • "Refutes physicist Richard Feynman's well-known assertion that the thermal motion of atoms cannot do work."
  • "The second law of thermodynamics is not violated"
  • "The graphene and circuit are at the same temperature."
  • "The next objective is to determine if the DC current can be stored in a capacitor. If millions of these tiny circuits could be built on a 1-millimeter by 1-millimeter chip, they could serve as a low-power battery replacement.
