"Unconventional Delights: Highlights from MWC 2024"

Mobile World Congress 2024 showcased a plethora of mad, crazy, and unexpectedly innovative devices, including concept phones like Motorola’s Adaptive Display Concept and Tecno’s Phantom Ultimate rollable concept phone. The event also featured products like OnePlus’ Watch 2 smartwatch with two processors and two operating systems, Xiaomi’s tech-heavy 14 Ultra smartphone, and HMD Global’s modular phone called the HMD Fusion. The show demonstrated a willingness to experiment, dream up fun products, and devise new ways to engage consumers, dispelling the notion that mobile tech is dull or predictable in 2024.

Revolutionary Device Generates Electricity from Humidity and Waste Heat

Scientists at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst have developed a tiny device that generates electricity from the air's humidity. The device involves two electrodes and a thin layer of material with tiny holes less than 100 nanometers in diameter. As water molecules pass through the device, they create an electric charge imbalance between the layered chambers, making the device run like a battery. The device can be made from nearly any substance, such as wood or silicon, as long as it can be punctured with the ultra-small holes. While the device currently only generates a fraction of a volt, the researchers hope it can become a practical, sustainable source of power.
