The technologies in The Cloud Connection are not pure science fiction. In labs across the globe people, nano-scientists are already developing the first stages of the materials and technologies you'll find in 'The Cloud Connection'
New Nanofiber Tech Could Make Your Clothes Positively Electrifying
Forget grades of wool—the clothing of the future's going to be measured in millivolts. Researchers at UC-Berkeley have created electricity-generating nanofibers that could someday be woven into your clothing.
The fibers are about 100 times thinner than a human hair, but can generate electrical outputs of up to 30 millivolts. Even better, their piezoelectric properties allow them to mechanical stress and twisting into electricity:
